Hi Everyone.

Based on this past weekend's meeting between 連戰 (and the 100+ Taiwan business leaders) and Premier Hu -- some of the 15 "gifts" from China to Taiwan will involve healthcare industry.  If I remember these correctly, these are:

1. Taiwan's doctors (and I guess, medically-related staffs, which may or may not include healthcare IT folks) may practice medicine in China,
2. Taiwan's medical professionals from Taiwan can form association in China,
3. (can't remember ... but there is like 1 or 2 more)

A). Do you folks think that will make impact on China's healthcare industry?  In good and/or bad ways?  e.g. driving up price, posing challenge to existing hospitals, bringing in different ways of running a hospital?  Producing better results or not possible to do so?

B).  Do you think those physicians will be allowed to treat only 台商?  or China's normal patients also?

C).  There are already Taiwan physicians trying to pass certification tests in China.  Have any of those people started medical practices in China already?  How are these going now - success?  Failure?

D).  If China's top officials decide to open the door (however wide or narrow the opening is) to Taiwan, do you think the government will similarly open medical industry to other nations as well -- Korea, Japan, Australia, USA, England, Germany, Canada, etc?

Thanks for sharing your views, 多謝,

15条中，与卫生和医疗有关的确实不少。

个人认为：路途遥遥，充满许多不定因素。

例如大熊猫。

呵呵，连站语录：“大熊猫只有黑白，没有兰绿。。”

Haahaa!

I was born in Taiwan, but I want to use this opportunity to say ...

• I am REALLY embarassed about the politics in Taiwan!  I think those stupid things that people say and do over there, really make "democracy" and "Chinese/Taiwan" people look bad and look laugh-able!
  
• I think, ANY smart country and business-person (either in Taiwan, or any Asian country, or USA) will be smart to "say less, and work more" -- to collaborate with China.  ^_^
  
• ... and that is the same for any healthcare industry people too ... either from USA (people like me, and the HIMSS Greater China Region SIG members), or from Taiwan (either Green, or Blue, or "no colors").  ^_^

... so in a way, I almost want to "encourage" the stupid Dark Green government to continue their "close door policy" ... that just means more time for us USA-based Chinese people to enter China market ... and give China more time (and specially the SUPER people in CHIMA/ CHITA) to improve the market without Taiwan's competition!  haahaa!  ^_^  ^_^

Okay, no more political talk here.  ^_^

I am REALLY looking forward to meeting many of you during the 5/26 - 5/29 meeting in 西安 ...  Stay in touch, and share your thought on the above topic okay?

找到一个有趣的文件，大概很有参考意义

大陆目前还没有专门的医学信息学职业认证体系，海峡两岸应该有更多交流才是。

是否可以首先在职业认证体系上进行交流？

不是说大陆承认台湾学历吗？大陆会承认台湾职称吗？

哈哈……想得太多了。

比较少有的没有被＊＊的org站点，实在是难得的资源。
