China will build a health care big data industry system.

At the routine briefing on the State Council policy held on 17th, Jin Xiaotao, deputy director of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, revealed that China will take the protection of all people’s health as the starting point, and explore new service modes and cultivate new formats through "internet plus Health Care". By 2020, we will establish a national open application platform for medical and health information, basically establish a development model of health care big data application adapted to national conditions, and initially form a health care big data industry system.

Health care big data covers the whole life cycle of people, including personal health, medical services, disease prevention and control, health protection and food safety, health care and other aspects of data convergence and aggregation, and is an important basic strategic resource of the country.

Jin Xiaotao introduced that the the State Council executive meeting reviewed and approved the Guiding Opinions on Promoting and Standardizing the Development of Big Data Application in Health Care, and deployed 14 tasks, including building a unified, authoritative and interconnected population health information platform, integrating medical big data resources, developing smart health care services for the benefit of the people, and formulating and improving laws, regulations and standards, from four aspects: consolidating the application foundation, comprehensively deepening the application, standardizing and promoting the "internet plus Health Care" service, and strengthening the construction of the security system.

The development of health care big data will not only accelerate the development and promotion of intelligent health care equipment, promote the release of production capacity in medicine, finance, logistics, pension, insurance, education and fitness, accelerate the upgrading of health industry, but also bring benefits to the people.

Jin Xiaotao said that the benefits brought to the people are mainly reflected in three aspects: First, continuously enhance the "independent health" service experience, let health data "run more roads" and let the people "run less errands", and bring more convenient application services to the people in Internet health consultation, appointment registration, inter-clinic settlement, medical insurance network settlement, mobile payment, etc. Second, with the deep integration and application of big data technology and health care services, it can make superior resources "go down", better promote the landing of graded diagnosis and treatment, accelerate the popularization of telemedicine, and promote the development of precision medicine; The third is to promote integrated health services covering prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and health management throughout the life cycle through the application of big data analysis.
