Abstract

Japan has achieved a significant success in improving public health through the introduction of health insurance that provides coverage to every citizen but the public health system is being burdened by the increasing load brought about due to the ageing society. Utilizing Electronic Health Records (EHR) is one of the potential methods to assist in lightening this burden. EHR was introduced in Japan in the late 90s but until now the adoption rate of EHR remains low. Taiwan is another Asian country which is devoted to promoting the use of EHR and is considered to have achieved an impressive success currently in terms of its nearly 100 per cent EHR penetration rate. In this paper a policy comparison between Japan and Taiwan was conducted in relation to the government policy of EHR.
