Medical Data sharing with the Hospital Authority

In Hong Kong, many of our patients attended the Hospital Authority hospitals for treatment in addition to our Centre for haeomdialysis. It would be ideal if there is data exchange between the Centre and the HA hospitals. This can now be achieved with the eHRSS (electronic health record sharing system). Our Centre now had the HKMA CMS YM system installed and we can now view the patient data in HA hospitals and we can also share some information (such as drug allergy) with the system. This is achieve with an built in ELSA (encapsulated software linkage) authenication system. We are the only centre equipped with such system.

Organ Donation Promotion - The Spring Sowers

As chairman of the Organ Donation Committee of the Hong Kong Medical Association, Dr Ho Chung Ping organized an innovative organ donation activity called Spring Sowers 2017. The participants took part in a walk from Pak Tam Chung in Sai Kung to the West Dam in High Island Reservoir and back. Participants would mobilize 5 of their friends and relatives to sign up for donation in the Hong Kong Central Organ Donation Registry.

The walk was very successful. Two weeks after the walk, there were 1625 new registrations. However, there are multiple organ donation activities going on in Hong Kong and the Spring Sowers is only a small part of the picture.
