The Medical Data-Centered Hospital Support Project is a government initiative that supports the utilization of hospital medical data accumulated through electronic medical records (EMR) and other means for medical research. Additionally, it aims to activate the use of clinical big data and collaborative research by establishing and supporting a cooperative system among medical institutions, pharmaceutical companies, ICT firms, academia, research institutes, and hospitals. Boramae Hospital has participated in the project since 2020 and has been selected again this year to carry out the project until the end of December.
