Because intractable diseases result from unidentifiable causes and are very difficult to treat, they require a lifelong epidemiology database. Japan does not use global unique identifiers, such as social security numbers, so we conducted a feasibility study regarding an electronic health record (EHR). An EHR can be used as a lifelong database and reduce conventional administrative work. However, it will be necessary to develop additional tools to overcome issues specific to Japan before an EHR can be implemented.
由于疑难病症病因不明且极难治疗，因此需要一个终身流行病学数据库。日本不使用社保号码等全球唯一标识符，所以我们针对电子健康记录（EHR）开展了一项可行性研究。电子健康记录可作为终身数据库，并减少传统行政工作。然而，在实施电子健康记录之前，有必要开发额外工具以克服日本特有的问题。
