Bucheon Sejong Hospital Opens Korea's First Online Patient Request Platform for Cardiovascular Disease
Nov 28, 2025
Bucheon Sejong Hospital (Hospital Director Lee Myung-mook) has opened an online patient referral platform exclusively for cardiovascular disease for the first time in Korea.
This platform will be used in the nationwide cardiovascular disease treatment network 'Sejong Cardiovascular Network (SJ-CCN)' led by Bucheon Sejong Hospital, the only cardiovascular hospital in Korea.
It is expected that medical cooperation between network participating organizations will take place more quickly and systematically as it will be shifted from the existing offline-centered to online.
Medical institutions participating in the network can immediately request patients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by logging in to the platform. It also provides a 'patient monitoring function' that allows you to check the progress of the referred patient in real time.
Son Bong-yeon, director of the Center for Medical Cooperation (Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery) at Bucheon Sejong Hospital, said, `It is designed not only to receive a simple request, but also to see the entire flow such as the current treatment stage, waiting, and whether it is returned.' `The procedure that used to require phone confirmation has been greatly simplified.'
The platform also features real-time chat and a quick look at the patient's status. It is the so-called 'Online Communication Field'.
It also provided a space for medical institutions wishing to participate in the network. In addition to being able to check the overall network function and operation concept, it was also possible to apply for network participation (convention) online.
Currently, more than 50 medical institutions nationwide, including the Military Medical Command and Flying Doctors, the only air ambulance institution in Korea, are participating in the Sejong Cardiovascular Network.
The hospital's medical staff who request all are directly connected to the heart department head of Bucheon Sejong Hospital in real-time.
Bucheon Sejong Hospital is the only hospital in Korea that always responds directly to the heart surgery hotline 365 days a year.
Sohn Bong-yeon, director of the Center for Medical Cooperation (Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery) at Bucheon Sejong Hospital, said, `By onlineizing the patient request process, which was centered on existing phone calls and faxes, we will be able to make all procedures for emergency patients with cardiovascular disease more quickly and clearly. We will continue to establish a reliable medical cooperation model by increasing access to treatment for patients with cardiovascular disease through close cooperation between network medical institutions.'
