Public health service in Hong Kong is administered through a centralized electronic record system. Private sector participating to this electronic system is non-existent. But this is changing. Dr. C.P. Wong, Chairman of the Hong Kong Society of Medical Informatics and co-chairman of the eHealth Consortium Executive Committee , says this is changing as healthcare practitioners see the benefits of shared information.

According to Dr. Wong, a recent survey of private healthcare givers identifies several challenges facing the industry. But the overall concensus is the recognition of a universal electronics health record system would facilitate improve health provision regardless of who administers the service.
