An electronic health record (EHR) contains various clinical information for pharmacovigilance studies, but they remain difficult to use. From 2016 to 2018, the ministry of food and drug safety and Korea institute of drug safety & risk management (KIDS) converted the EHRs of more than 9 million patients to a MOA common data model (CDM). KIDS developed the Medical record observation and assessment for drug safety network (MOA-Net), a web portal site to build a network between CDM data partners. Through MOA-Net, hospitals participated in pharmacovigilance studies and confirmed the usability and adequacy of the CDM.
