Do you need a health card if you have a social security card?

Yes, social security cards are different from health cards. There are two kinds of them.

Health card is the basic carrier of personal information based on electronic health records, electronic medical records and three-level information platform proposed by the national health informatization "352 1 Project". It is necessary to realize cross-system, cross-institution and cross-regional interconnection and information sharing of medical and health services, and it is a CPU card that can be recognized by computers.

Li Bin, director of the National Health Planning Commission, once said that China should strive to have a qualified family doctor in every family by 2020, and every resident should have a dynamically managed electronic health record and a health card with perfect service functions.

Extended data:

Residents' health card is a pilot project for residents' health card construction in combination with the tasks and requirements of residents' electronic health records construction; Ensure the universality and openness of residents' health cards in the health field.

Under the premise of keeping the main functions, standards and norms, key systems and management subjects unchanged, it is convenient and practical to encourage the integration of multiple cards with other public services such as citizen cards and financial cards, and promote the multi-purpose of one card.

The top leaders of local health departments (bureaus) should fully understand that health informatization is an important support of medical reform, take health informatization as the top project, and improve the level of medical and health services by means of informatization.

The responsibility of the Ministry of Health for overall planning and coordination, formulating policies and norms, assigning password numbers and strengthening comprehensive management is clear, the responsibility of strengthening territorial management and ensuring effective organization and implementation is clear, and the responsibility of grassroots medical and health institutions for simultaneously developing residents' electronic health records, issuing residents' health cards and ensuring effective use is clear.

To carry out the task of health informatization, we should do a good job in regional planning, pay attention to the integration of existing resources, give full play to the advantages and functions of various social forces in capital, human resources and information technology, and establish a multi-channel investment mechanism.

It is necessary to do a good job in the construction of health informatization team, improve the introduction, training, use and incentive mechanism of talents, focus on cultivating compound talents with dual backgrounds of medicine and informatics, and cultivate practical talents who understand technology and can apply it.
