Severance Hospital to Get rid of 9.7 million paper receipts per year...Alternate to Mobile, Save 5 Tons of Carbon Dioxide
Severance Hospital recently officially introduced 'Mobile Receipt Service' to strengthen patient information protection and increase convenience.
The mobile receipt service is a method of sending receipts in real time through Kakao notification talk after payment for medical expenses. Patients can immediately inquire and save their medical history through electronic receipts without having to wait to issue receipts. In addition, it is possible to secure high security by minimizing the leakage of personal information that may occur due to the loss of paper receipts. The mobile receipt service was jointly organized by the outpatient staff team of Severance Hospital and the information service team, and healthcare platform company Lemon Healthcare participated in the development.
The interworking between the Hospital Information System (HIS) and the external platform was implemented in compliance with related regulations such as the Medical Act, the Personal Information Protection Act, and information security, and all receipts are sent based on the patient's prior consent. Severance Hospital expects the introduction of mobile receipts to improve patient convenience and strengthen information security, as well as work efficiency and environmental protection. By simplifying administrative work at the storage window and replacing 9.7 million paper receipts per year, about 5 tons of carbon dioxide can be saved.
"This introduction of mobile receipt service is a meaningful change to fully implement information protection while increasing the convenience of patients. We will continue to apply safe and efficient digital medical services to the entire process from medical treatment to payment and follow-up management," said Lee Kang-young, head of Severance Hospital.
Meanwhile, Severance Hospital plans to gradually expand its digital administration infrastructure, starting with mobile receipt services, electronic prescription and mobile bill integration systems, AI-based payment and insurance claim services, and patient experience-based customized digital administration processes.
