To address the inconvenience of patients having to retake the same tests every time they change hospitals and the issue of health insurance financial waste, the government is introducing a new system. Starting from December 2026, medical institutions will be able to use AI to view patients' past imaging records in real-time. By the first half of 2027, a system will be established that allows patients to transfer images to other hospitals using smartphone QR codes. Every year, more than 65 billion won in health insurance finances was being wasted due to duplicate shootings when changing hospitals. However, through the introduction of this system, it is expected to reduce the burden of medical expenses for patients and achieve the effect of saving health insurance finances.
