The collection and use of large-scale medical information for developing artificial intelligence engines are actively ongoing. In Japan, collection systems have been built to collect data for medical image analysis and disease repositories. In the experimental project for the next generation medical infrastructure law, a centrally integrated basic system was developed, and standardized electronic medical record (EMR) storage data distributed to each hospital were transferred into one data center and imported to a database for secondary use. The law requires a mechanism for maintaining a list of notified or opted-out patients. To operate these systems, safe and efficient secondary use of collected information is essential not just for the law but also for large-scale data collection projects, such as multifacility clinical research. This paper considers whole-somely, requirements for providing medical care information to data collection projects and proposes additional requirements for a gateway system under development.
