Since 2015, Taipei Medical University had been curating electronic medical records of three affiliated hospitals (Taipei Medical University Hospital, Wanfang Hospital, and Shuang Ho Hospital) to build the Taipei Medical University Clinical Research Database (TMUCRD). It was combined with three thousand beds' electronic medical records, including structured data (such as patient's basic information, cause of death, medical information, cancer registry, TPR, pain score, laboratory test result, bacterial culture, diagnosis, treatment procedure, surgery, discharge summary, medication status, prescription refill for chronic conditions, medical device, and inpatient nutritional assessments) and unstructured data (such as physicians note, pathology report, image examination, and radiology report), preprocessed and validated them into analyzable research data. The data period covered by TMUCRD was from 1998 to 2022. Since Shuang Ho Hospital joined the TMU System in 2008, the scope of the database has been included in the complete data of the three hospitals. The data content had 12 categories, 71 tables, and 2,611 columns. In addition, the various data tables can be mutually linked. As of 2022, the database has accumulated the medical information of nearly 4.3 million patients across Taiwan.
