Following the introduction of the western medicine interaction prompt function at the end of 2019, the new Chinese and Western medicine interaction prompt will be added in July 2020, with a total of nearly 20 million query records. When prescribing, doctors can connect with the system of the Department of health insurance through the computer of the hospital to control the remaining drugs of the patients, so as to avoid providing drugs with mutually exclusive functions or too strong effects.
According to the instructions of the central epidemic command center after the outbreak of covid-19, a "tocc" prompt mechanism will be set up in the cloud system from January 27, 2020 to collect information from inter departmental meetings and provide medical staff with information such as travel history, occupation, contact history and cluster to jointly protect the health of the whole people.

In addition, medical institutions across the country have also developed various applications in the field of health care, such as reducing the risk of nosocomial infection by using the tocc data of the health insurance cloud system, warning the interaction between Chinese and Western medicines to avoid opening prescriptions that affect the health of patients, sharing information to hospitals / clinics / drug administrations within the system, etc., so as to reduce the cost of software and hardware, reduce the time of information transfer, and improve the quality of life of the public Medical convenience.
