“Only with digital transformation can we go faster, the country can develop faster. If we take it easy, we will never catch up with the countries that moved on. “
This is a message emphasized by Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam at the National Conference on Transformation of the National Health Number on December 30 in Hanoi.
Health and education are the first two priority areas in digital transformation. Therefore, the deputy prime minister hoped that the conference would mark an important milestone, generate more motivation, clarify directions and solutions to help the healthcare sector continue to be successful in digital transformation.
Digital conversion does not require technical changes
The deputy prime minister acknowledged that the health sector has applied information technology for many years and now has clearer results. Although the road ahead is long and difficult, the results achieved today show that, if you have faith, you can continue to create, focus and synchronously achieve the objectives set.
“Industry 4.0 has said a lot, but how do you take advantage of the opportunities since then? Certainly, to take advantage, we must be determined to promote the application of information technologies in every corner of our lives, ”emphasized the Deputy Prime Minister.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, information technology is really an indispensable and highly effective tool in medical examinations and treatments. Therefore, the transformation of medical figures cannot be carried out without fulfilling the objective of transparency for the whole of society, but also guaranteeing the responsibility of all health establishments, towards the responsibility of each health worker. patient.
Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam said that to take advantage of Industrial Revolution 4.0, it is necessary to bring information technology to all corners of life.
The deputy prime minister said that in order to speed up the transformation of medical numbers, first of all, it is necessary to have a legal corridor, modify and supplement the legal provisions, especially the financial mechanism.
Until now, the health sector has only tried to correctly and adequately calculate the price of medical services, put information technology in the cost of management, but now it has to change perceptions, consider information technology as machinery , equipment, consumables … for accounting.
In the context of Vietnam being a late country with lower middle income, limited state budget, the digital transformation strategy cannot follow developed countries. Now we must do synchronous work on a national scale, working from the bottom up, not from the top down like the world.
“We spend the budget on education and health, but the number is absolutely impossible compared to other countries. We also extended medical insurance to more than 90% of the population, but with low denominations, not equal to 1/10 compared to developed countries, ”the deputy prime minister quoted.
However, the Deputy Prime Minister said that we can be confident. First, Vietnam has very big data on almost 100 million people. In the future, data is the force. Second, our country has a very creative and dynamic information technology team.
According to the deputy prime minister, digital transformation and the application of information technology are not simply techniques, but they change habits, thoughts, ways of doing things, they need determination in direction and coherence and synchronization.
The ultimate goal of the medical number transformation is to improve the quality of health care for people, but according to the deputy prime minister, there are many smaller purposes, first of all, to immediately serve the management needs of ministries and localities . medical Center.
“The health sector says that management is unified at the national level, but when I went to the Ministry of Health, I asked how many ventilators nationwide, how many doctors in this specialty, what level … but when they tell us to print it, we don’t we have, ”said the deputy prime minister.
Or at Cho Ray Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, the leaders require statistics of all materials, equipment and machines to upgrade to the public property management system, but only 6 months to make 1 department.
In medical examination and treatment establishments, especially large hospitals, there are dozens of contractors, hundreds of software, thousands of computers, but they have not used the backup warehouse for many years, when you ask for transparency in the operation, you cannot statistically. .
“Previously, the ministry was under the administration of the ministry and the local authority below. Every time I asked what, the Ministry typed a document to ask the province, the province asked the district, the district asked the commune, so it was inaccurate and delayed, ”said the deputy prime minister.
You must use administrative commands to convert numbers
According to the deputy prime minister, with Vietnam’s conditions to convert numbers in a new way, there is nowhere to be done first but the opposite.
“Like spreading a net in a river, if you only focus on thick tissue, the fish will avoid other places. We have some fibers, so we can weave them little, but we can catch big fish if we use them tightly closed, ”said the deputy prime minister.
With the activities implemented, with the headlines and solutions identified, the Deputy Prime Minister asked to synchronize documents and administrative orders so that everyone does it together.

“Digital transformation is associated with changing practices and transparency, so there are many internal obstacles. Those who don’t, don’t respond, sometimes even creating negative energy for employees. Then, in the best way, everyone has to do it, “said the deputy prime minister.
The deputy prime minister reiterated that the main objective of the transformation of the medical number is to take care of the health of the people in the lower budget condition than other countries. Therefore, it is necessary to start with very detailed things, specifically what people need to identify the topic.
According to the deputy prime minister, ordinary people first need to know how to prevent disease, how to eat and exercise. It is necessary to ensure that all essential needs of people of all subjects are consulted, can prevent disease and take care of themselves.
Second, people want to get out of the queue to register for medical treatment. Recently, many hospitals have been actively implemented, but pioneer hospitals only reach 10-15%, the rest still go directly to the hospital.
Third, people want to be consulted, examined and treated remotely by the doctors they believe they trust the most.
Fourth, how to make people trust, because having faith means having everything. Previously, people did not believe, so they moved to the bottom line.
“Now we want to change with technology. Since the past, people have dreamed of being able to control their health and always have their own doctor. People do not like to be managed, but they do very much like to control their health, ”said the deputy prime minister.
The deputy prime minister said that by promoting Vietnam’s health program and making public health records in July 2021, every citizen is considered to have a doctor, rather a health system with one. group of care doctors, monitoring.
“This is an ambitious goal, an unrealistic dream that we can fully realize,” believes the deputy prime minister.
In addition, the deputy prime minister asked to modify the health insurance payment policy, not only paying when people are sick but also paying for periodic medical check-ups and screening tests, so that people do not enter a state of illness.
The health insurance fund has not yet paid this fee. Therefore, the Examination and Treatment Act and the Health Insurance Act need to be amended in the near future.
From the actual operation, the Deputy Prime Minister said that coordination is the weakness of many units. What a person does is easy, but what needs coordination is very difficult. Therefore, in the conversion of numbers, it is very necessary to play the role of the head.
“Doing a digital transformation as an administrative reform, having to renew ourselves, transferring the local interests of our units and individuals,” said the deputy prime minister.
The Deputy Prime Minister hoped that, with the coordination of the Government Office, the Ministry of Information and Communications, the path of the Ministry of Health would be quickly traced and replicated to other ministries, so that the whole country could move more quickly in the transformation . change the number.
