Skip to 0 minutes and 59 seconds With just the National Health Insurance smart card or ID number, the system alerts healthcare providers to the patients’ travel history and contact history during their clinical visits. Also, Taiwan’s National Health Insurance data played an important role in the eMask distribution system, which is Name-based system, allowed everyone in Taiwan to order face masks through National Insurance through mobile app or MyHealthBank. It also allows one to look up the nearest pharmacy that has face masks in stock so they don’t have to be in a queue. So, whether you work as a healthcare professional or are simply curious, join this course on FutureLearn. Invite your friends to share this learning experience with you.
