Digital technology reconstructs modern hospitals and creates a smart experience for seeking medical advice

Liu Qian, president of the Chinese Hospital Association, said in his speech that driven by national policies and digital innovation, a smart medical system based on universal health informationization and health and medical big data is accelerating its formation. At present, my country's medical informationization has made great progress and has played a huge role in optimizing the medical process, improving service efficiency, and improving patient experience. The recent online sale of prescription drugs is a powerful example.

President Wang Yongjun of Beijing Tiantan Hospital extended a warm welcome to the experts attending the meeting and introduced the forward-looking insights and unique ideas of Tiantan Hospital on the construction of medical information technology. He said that taking the relocation of the new hospital as an opportunity, Tiantan Hospital established eight key points and ten innovative points in the planning of smart hospitals. Through information technology, the hospital has realized the intelligent transformation of the entire process from appointment registration to medical consultation, and has become a digital, intelligent, modern new hospital.

H3C has been ranked first in the medical information industry for nine consecutive years, and has shouldered the important tasks of innovation, exploration and demonstration in helping my country's smart hospitals to steadily advance. Wang Jingpo, co-president of H3C Group, shared on the spot that H3C, based on smart hospitals, integrates digital infrastructure, business capability platform, active security, and intelligent digital platforms with unified operation and maintenance, combines innovative smart applications with ecological partners, builds a medical digital brain, and comprehensively promotes the informatization process at different levels in the field of medical health, including clinical, service and operation.

Wang Yi, Director of the Medical Administration and Management Bureau of the National Health Commission, gave a keynote speech on the topic of "Promoting Hospital Informatization Construction with Management Innovation" at the meeting. He pointed out that my country's medical services are moving from "informatization" to "intelligence". In this process, medical institutions at all levels need to clarify the goals of smart upgrades and use digital means to achieve internal and external interconnection and resource sharing, thereby improving the ability to allocate medical resources and realizing a smart operation model that integrates management decision-making, clinical diagnosis and treatment, and service systems.

Hospital experts discuss and explore the latest progress in hospital transformation

Taking the medical information construction of Peking University Third Hospital as an example, Jin Changxiao, Party Secretary of Peking University Third Hospital, shared his experience in the information construction of smart hospitals. Peking University Third Hospital uses a lightweight model to create full-process online services and digital closed-loop management, and also launches Internet + medical consulting services, which truly links "online and offline" and "inside and outside the hospital" information interaction and sharing, effectively solving the pain point of patients' "hard work and difficulty" in seeing a doctor, reducing the diagnosis and treatment burden of medical staff, and improving the efficiency of hospital operation and management.

Xing Mo, deputy director of Peking University Cancer Hospital, delivered a speech on the theme of "Promoting multidisciplinary collaboration and promoting standardized tumor treatment". She pointed out that in the process of digital construction, it is necessary to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties to participate, and the high attention and active promotion from the management to the various departments have provided beneficial support for the pilot work of multidisciplinary collaboration (MDT) diagnosis and treatment of tumors. The collaborative cooperation of different departments has greatly improved the effectiveness of MDT diagnosis and treatment.

Li Jia, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, shared how to improve medical quality through informatization. He pointed out that smart hospitals are for process reengineering under informatization conditions, rather than informatization of old processes. In the process of building smart hospitals, it is necessary to fully collect the effective needs of each part and comprehensively consider the intelligent reshaping of the overall process. Xuanwu Hospital effectively improves the compliance and standardization of medical staff, especially junior doctors, through medical AI, and conducts procedural inspections and real-time reminders on doctors' subjective behaviors, thereby improving medical quality.

During the roundtable discussion, Wang Caiyou, Chairman of the Information Committee of the Chinese Hospital Association (CHIMA), Sun Xiaowei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Peking University First Hospital, Wang Lei, Deputy Director of Xi'an Children's Hospital, and Du Xiaojun, Technical Director of the Medical System Department of H3C Group, had a more in-depth discussion on how to fully mobilize the sense of honor and gain of various departments in the hospital, so as to fully participate in the information construction and form a wise synergy.

Bai Bo, deputy director of the Information Center of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, shared the situation of the construction of the smart hospital of Tiantan Hospital on the spot. He said that the construction of a smart hospital is the main goal of the information development of Tiantan Hospital.

The smart guide machine, the smart outpatient department with full self-service, and the smart ward with smart facilities such as bedside pad, smart mattress, smart infusion, and baby anti-theft were all highly praised by the experts. The daily average of 8,900+ outpatient visits but no long queues on site further demonstrated the upgraded medical experience brought about by the intelligent transformation.

After the visit to Tiantan Hospital, a tour to Tsinghua Unigroup fully demonstrated to the participating expert group the cutting-edge progress in the development of medical informationization and smart medical care, as well as H3C's leading strength and industry experience in promoting the digital transformation of the medical industry.
