Exchanging referral data through internet can not only accelerate the speed of patient referral, but also avoid repeating unwanted examination to decrease the waste of medical resources. In order to promote the referral efficiency, a web-based E-referral center is implemented in Internet. We apply HL7/XML standard to transform patient’s referral data into XML format for exchanging procedure. The system was constructed in Microsoft .NET platform. The out-patients are the major served person in the referral operation system. When a patient needs to be referred, the system will transform the referral’s data into XML format and send it to the referral center as well as to a suitable hospital through internet. Meanwhile, the patient also can use WAP/GPRS mobile phone to get part of his own record from E-referral center for doctor’s reference. It seems to reach the goal for everyone who goes with his personal medical record. In this research, the prototype of the referral center is expected to reach the following functions. (1) Sharing the medical information. (2) Improving referral efficiency. (3) Saving medical resource. (4) Practicing hierarchy medical-care system. (5) Go with one’s personal medical record.
