Novel electronic medical record-based stroke registry system

This paper presents the innovative electronic medical record based stroke registry system (SRS) that has been designed and developed at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH). A prototype which was introduced in 2006, akin to a consumer electronics commodity, has been adopted by other vascular disease-associated specialties such as cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology and oncology. Furthermore, the SRS has proliferated to three other hospitals within the CGMH chain and promises to provide longitudinal association between pathophysiology and clinical outcomes of vascular diseases in the Taiwanese population.
