Kaohsiung Hospital Achieves Global Smart Health Milestone

Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital (KMUH) in southern Taiwan is at the forefront of a smart health care transformation. They have achieved national recognition for their extensive disease-specific care certifications, alongside embracing digital innovations. This integration of technology and standardized clinical excellence has established KMUH as a leading example of smart, people-focused health care.

Initiating a multiyear "Smart Hospital Development Plan," KMUH aims to enhance medical integration, AI-enabled care, remote health services, and patient self-management. This plan addresses challenges such as workforce shortages and health care financing pressures. Notably, the hospital achieved HIMSS Stage 6 certification and, on July 25, 2025, became the first in southern Taiwan to reach HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7.

KMUH holds 14 disease-specific care certifications as of 2025, covering conditions like stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Many of these meet international Joint Commission International standards, ensuring safe, standardized, and effective care for all patients. These certifications underscore their commitment to measurable clinical quality and patient well-being.
