DaTong Medical Care faced a crisis as its traditional Hospital Information System (HIS) was criticized for being difficult to use, leading to the loss of partnerships with public hospitals. Under the leadership of General Manager Zhang Zhiwei, who has 15 years of experience at NVIDIA, the company adopted a 'Fail fast' mindset to restructure its business. The company focused on developing FHIR, the standard for medical data exchange, aiming to align with the trend of healthcare data sharing promoted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW). DaTong Medical Care successfully participated in the MOHW's FHIR competition and won the 'Best Technical Innovation Award.' Experts note that as Taiwanese hospitals increasingly rely on FHIR for uploading data to the National Health Insurance platform and ensuring interoperability between different systems, DaTong Medical Care's experience and expertise in this area position them strategically. This demonstrates how a long-established company can pivot by adopting major technological trends to capture new policy demands.
