On the afternoon of October 2, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Chairman of the National Committee on Digital Transformation, chaired an online conference to deploy the expansion of the pilot electronic health book and issuance of judicial records via VNeID nationwide.
The conference was connected online (4 levels) from the Government headquarters to ministries, branches, provinces, centrally run cities, and localities at district and commune levels.
In his opening speech, the Prime Minister assessed that the conference marked an important step in the process of national digital transformation, deploying essential services for people.
The Prime Minister emphasized that the ultimate goal in building a digital government, digital society, digital citizens, and developing a digital economy is to serve the people.
Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and Resolution 52 of the Politburo on a number of guidelines and policies to proactively participate in the Fourth Industrial Revolution both require accelerating the digital transformation process, building a digital government, digital society, digital citizens, and developing a digital economy.
Up to now, digital transformation has reached every alley, every house, every object, bringing convenience to people.
The Government directed the implementation of Project 06 and the construction of a national database on population, actively implementing it, bringing efficiency to the people.
In particular, two localities, Hanoi and Thua Thien Hue, are assigned to pilot two utilities on electronic health records and issuing criminal records via VNeID according to the Government's resolutions. These are two closely related services, directly related to the people.
The Prime Minister stated that the conference was organized with the spirit of only discussing action, not retreating, resolving difficulties, overcoming challenges, unifying awareness, and acting together to pilot the expansion of the above two utilities nationwide.
Thereby contributing to building digital government, digital society, digital citizens, socio-economic development, including the goal that by 2030 the digital economy will contribute 30% to the economy.
Regarding the results of implementing electronic health books, the report said that up to now, 32,062,931 electronic health book data have been created for citizens, of which 14,638,905 citizens have integrated electronic health books on VNeID with 12,518/12,693 health insurance examination and treatment facilities (reaching a rate of 98.6%) synchronous data interconnected through social insurance to integrate into VNeID, guiding medical examination and treatment facilities to interconnect data to ensure quality and efficiency.
This positive result helps save about 1,150 billion VND/year in medical records for 230 million medical visits.
Regarding the implementation of issuing criminal records, after more than 4 months of pilot implementation, Hanoi received more than 45,000 and Thua Thien Hue received more than 5,000 criminal records applications on VNeID, accounting for more than 70% of the total number of applications requesting criminal records of the two provinces.
It is estimated that each file saves about 10,000 VND in gasoline, travel and waiting time; 150,000 VND in average half-day's wages for people in need of criminal records in Hanoi.
With the annual demand for criminal records being about 2.6 million requests nationwide, when people register, it helps save about 400 billion VND each year for people and society.
