Objectives:
Migrating legacy on-premise electronic health record (EHR) systems in tertiary hospitals to modern cloud-native platforms presents technical and strategic challenges. We aimed to establish an optimized roadmap for transitioning legacy monolithic systems to a microservice architecture-based cloud-native EHR (MCEHR).
Methods:
We conducted a 3-month strategic assessment and case study based on the modernization requirements of a global healthcare provider. The methodology incorporated semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, including clinical informatics officers and system architects, to identify critical pain points such as .NET 4.0 end-of-support risks and performance bottlenecks during peak clinical hours. Phased hybrid migration was adopted, analyzing over 20 TB of Oracle-based legacy data and evaluating the technical feasibility of transitioning to .NET 9 and RESTful APIs. To ensure clinical safety, a proof-of-concept (PoC) environment was developed to simulate high-concurrency clinical workloads, emphasizing system resilience and transaction integrity during intensive order-entry periods.
Results:
The transition to .NET 9 and MCEHR demonstrated 100% transaction integrity across 1,012 complex clinical test cases. Frontend and backend modernization showed high feasibility; however, migration of business logic embedded within legacy Oracle views represented a primary technical bottleneck, necessitating targeted decoupling. The PoC confirmed that RESTful API-based services maintained stable throughput under heavy concurrent loads, significantly reducing the risk of system-induced delays in clinical workflows.
Conclusions
Transitioning to an MCEHR architecture is complex but strategically essential. The proposed task force team roadmap outlines staged upgrades incorporating core technology modernization (.NET 9 and RESTful APIs), selective business component migration, and parallel DevOps adoption.

Background:
To determine the association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and the consumption of various fruits.
Methods:
The Korean Genome And Epidemiology Study is an ongoing prospective longitudinal cohort study of community dwellers and participants (men and women, aged 40–69 years) recruited from the national health examinee registry of Korea. Their individual consumption habits for 12 different fruit types were recorded using food frequency questionnaires. The fruits were then divided into three groups according to their glycemic indexes and glycemic loads. Participants with extreme caloric intakes, pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney diseases, chronic liver diseases, and ongoing cancer treatments were excluded. The incidence of type 2 diabetes in the cohort was identified through self-reporting and supplemented by glycated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose levels.
Results:
A total of 2,549 cases of type 2 diabetes were documented during 283,033.8 person-years of follow-up. After adjusting for personal, lifestyle, and dietary risk factors for diabetes, the pooled hazard ratio of type 2 diabetes for every serving per week of total whole fruit consumption was 1.02 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99–1.06; P=0.2). With mutual adjustment of individual fruits, the pooled hazard ratios of type 2 diabetes for every serving per week were 0.94 (95% CI, 0.88–1.00; P=0.039) for bananas, and 0.90 (95% CI, 0.84–0.96; P<0.001) for grapes.
Conclusion
Our findings suggest associations between the consumption of certain fruits and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. A greater consumption of grapes was significantly associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes in our cohort, but the total amount of fruit consumption was not associated with a reduced risk.
