(CNA Reporter Chao Min-ya, Taipei, 24th) As Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology rapidly enters the medical field, the Institute for Information Industry (III) announced today its partnership with Chi Mei Medical Center to officially launch Taiwan's first 'Medical AI Competency Passport.' Starting from talent cultivation and competency verification mechanisms, they are building a one-stop AI learning and application system, with plans to guide 300 medical staff in obtaining AI-related certifications to comprehensively strengthen clinical AI literacy and application capabilities.
III Vice Executive Vice President Lin Yu-fan stated via a press release that while AI technology is gradually being introduced into the medical system, clinical settings face limitations such as fast-paced work and fragmented learning time, making it difficult for most medical staff to integrate tools into daily workflows even if they have them. The key to medical AI lies not just in technology but in whether medical personnel possess the correct AI literacy to understand AI, judge its suitability, and use it safely in clinical scenarios. Only by establishing a person-centered competency system can AI truly generate benefits.
III pointed out that this cooperation with Chi Mei Medical Center starts from clinical pain points to jointly plan curriculum content. It targets high-burden scenarios such as medical record writing, administrative report organization, and repetitive data entry, introducing generative AI applications. The training focuses on scenario-oriented and problem-oriented approaches, helping medical staff improve information integration efficiency and clinical decision-making quality in care environments, gradually establishing digital literacy for integrating AI into daily processes safely.
III mentioned that the promotion of the Medical AI Competency Passport starts with Chi Mei Hospital's AI competency inventory, creating tiered courses tailored to different occupational needs and linking training, practice, and certification mechanisms. In addition to assisting in obtaining generative AI competency certifications, the competency passport systematically records personal learning history, application results, and competency growth, realizing cross-domain integration of training and application.
Chi Mei Medical Center Director Lin Hung-jung explained that through cooperation with III, the key is not just introducing AI tools, but enabling medical staff to correctly use and interpret AI. This helps deepen the layout of smart medicine and systematically cultivate AI application talent, marking an important step towards becoming a learning health organization.
Lin Yu-fan pointed out that the cooperation with Chi Mei Medical Center will serve as an important demonstration for medical AI talent cultivation and competency verification mechanisms. In the future, the Medical AI Competency Passport model will be gradually expanded to more medical institutions and application fields, establishing a complete development path from talent cultivation to system implementation, enhancing Taiwan's competitiveness in the global smart medical field, and achieving the goal of benefiting the public through AI innovation and industrial development.
