Birth Reporting Database

1. To implement birth-notification work, the Ministry of Health and Welfare established the "Birth Notification Operations Plan" and held repeated consultations with the Ministry of the Interior, the competent authority for the Child Welfare Act. The Ministry of the Interior finalized and announced the "Birth Notification Operating Procedure" on September 13, 1994 (ROC year 83). On December 28 of the same year, the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced the newly revised "Birth Certificate" and "Stillbirth Certificate," and paper-based birth notification began in March 1995 (ROC year 84). 2. Starting in 2004 (ROC year 93), medical institutions switched to online notification and stopped using paper forms, while household-registration offices continued to use both notification methods in parallel. Following continued coordination between the Health Promotion Administration and the Ministry of the Interior's Department of Household Registration Affairs, online birth notification was fully implemented starting in 2005 (ROC year 94), completely eliminating the mailing of paper forms. 3. On May 28, 2003 (ROC year 92), the "Child Welfare Act" and the "Youth Welfare Act" were merged and amended into the "Child and Youth Welfare Act," Article 13 of which provides: "Within 7 days of a fetus's birth, the person who assisted the delivery shall report the relevant birth information to the household registration and health authorities for the record." 4. On November 30, 2011 (ROC year 100), the "Protection of Children and Youths Welfare and Rights Act" was amended and promulgated; Article 14 provides: "Within 7 days of a fetus's birth, the person who assisted the delivery shall report the relevant birth information to the health authority for the record; the same applies in the case of a stillbirth." In addition, for births that did not occur in a hospital, clinic, or midwifery institution and for which a birth certificate cannot be obtained, birth registration may be completed by presenting either a DNA parentage test report issued by a medical institution or a birth notification form issued by a licensed medical or nursing professional. 5. Unlike "birth registration," "birth notification" covers all of the following born in Taiwan (regardless of nationality): a. live-born newborns; b. stillbirths at ≥20 weeks of gestation or with a birth weight of ≥500 grams.

1. 衛生福利部為落實出生通報工作，訂定「出生通報作業計畫」，多次與「兒童福利 法」主管機關內政部會議協商，由內政部於民國83年9月13日定案公布「出生 通報作業流程」。同年12 月28日由衛生福利部公告發布新修訂之「出生證明書」 及「死產證明書」，並於民國84年3月起實施紙本出生通報作業。 2. 民國 93 年起醫療單位改行網路通報不再使用紙本、而戶政聯仍採兩種通報方式 並行。經國健署持續與內政部戶政司協調整合，民國 94 年起全面實施網路出生 通報，完全免除紙本之寄送。 3. 民國92年5月28日「兒童福利法」及「少年福利法」合併修正公布為「兒童及 少年福利法」，其中第 13 條規定：「胎兒出生後 7 日內，接生人應將其出生之相 關資料通報戶政及衛生主管機關備查」。 4. 民國100年11月30日修正公布「兒童及少年福利與權益保障法」，其中第14條 規定：「胎兒出生後 7 日內，接生人應將其出生之相關資料通報衛生主管機關備 查；其為死產者，亦同」。另非在醫院、診所或助產所出生無法取得出生證明書者， 應提憑醫療機構開立之 DNA 親子鑑定報告書或領有證照之醫護人員所開立之出 生通報書，辦理出生登記。 5. 不同於「出生登記」，「出生通報」為所有在我國出生(不限國籍)之 a.活產新生兒； b.懷孕≧20週或體重≧500公克之死產兒。 (引述國民健康署出生通報背景說明)

0: Not a paired organ; 1: Primary origin on the right side; 2: Primary origin on the left side; 3: Unilateral involvement only, but origin (left or right) unclear; 4: Bilateral involvement but laterality of origin unclear, and the record describes a single primary (uncommon) — e.g. single-histology tumor involving both ovaries; bilateral retinoblastomas; bilateral Wilms tumors; 9: Origin is a paired organ but laterality unclear, or a midline tumor.

1. 一位新生兒為一筆資料。 2. 本資料係全國各接生醫療院所通報之「出生證明書」、「死產證明書」與「出生通 報書」資料。 3. 統計項目包含產婦背景資料（國籍、居住地）及懷孕情形（危險因子或特殊處 置）、新生兒資料（出生體重、胎別、先天缺陷註記等）、產婦配偶資料（國籍、 戶籍地）等欄位。 4. 104年 7月1日起，出生通報系統之新生兒先天性缺陷代碼改以ICD-10-CM 通 報。然批次轉檔醫院因院內系統調整，給予三個月修改緩衝期，故 104 年 7 月
