On April 8th, the Sichuan Smart Hospital Information Construction Seminar, hosted by the Sichuan Provincial Bioinformatics Society and undertaken by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., was successfully held at Huawei's Chengdu Research Institute. Experts from over 20 hospitals across Sichuan gathered to deeply discuss the information construction of smart hospitals.

    Driven by new applications such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and big data, smart hospitals have ushered in a development climax and new opportunities for growth. Smart hospitals represent the integration and advancement of hospital informatization and internetization, indicating the future direction of hospital development. In the era of new infrastructure construction, the construction of smart hospitals has gained a more powerful impetus. Currently, the underlying infrastructure of hospital information systems is facing a reconstruction of cloudization and dataization to adapt to the needs of all mobile services such as medical services, patient services, and nursing services in the "Internet+" era.

    Secretary-General of the Sichuan Provincial Bioinformatics Society and Clinical Doctor of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Bin Chen, mentioned, "This conference was held to implement the national policy requirements for the innovative development of smart hospital construction. Through this epidemic, we have deeply realized the importance of data interconnection and information networks. Without the support of these infrastructures, it is difficult to achieve precise prevention and control of the epidemic. In the era of data and information, all of this is inseparable from storage, which is the primary. We hope that through in-depth exchanges and discussions among academic and industrial leaders, we can promote and advance the construction of hospital digitization, informatization, and smartization."

    West China Hospital is a leader, pioneer, and innovator in informatization. West China has made many explorations in medical treatment, auxiliary operation, and maintenance, which have been very helpful in promoting the informatization of medical and health care in Sichuan Province. Director of the Information Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University and President of the Smart Hospital Construction Branch of the Sichuan Provincial Bioinformatics Society, Qingke Shi, shared, "During this epidemic, many hospitals have used a combination of online and offline methods to improve the level of outpatient services, to meet the needs of the people for medical treatment as much as possible, thus reflecting our own value.   

   The construction of smart hospitals in the future is a multidisciplinary integration issue, involving our management methods, technical support means, and service capabilities behind the technical support, as well as the impact on the traditional operation mode of our hospitals after various new information systems come on board."

    President of the Cloud and Computing Data Storage and Machine Vision Solution Department of Huawei China Region, Xiaoyu Kang

    "Informatization and digitalization, as well as intelligence, have become the mainstay in medical treatment and epidemic prevention and control, and the value of medical digitization is further highlighted and accelerated in construction. Huawei expects to drive innovation and transformation in medical models with customers and partners through continuous accumulation of core technologies, innovative products, and solutions, contributing to the realization of a healthy China." Xiaoyu Kang, President of the Cloud and Computing Data Storage and Machine Vision Solution Department of Huawei China Region, mentioned in the conference.

    Smart hospitals rely on modern communication and information technology, and build a "three-in-one" smart hospital system of medical treatment, services, and management through the construction of "smart services," "smart medical treatment," and "smart management," providing patients with higher quality, more efficient, safer, and more considerate medical services. "We have used Huawei's multi-scenario integrated remote medical solutions tailored for the medical industry. After the platform was launched and put into use, all visits can obtain personalized information and services through this entry. For the hospital, the unified portal is both a window to display the hospital and seamlessly integrates remote consultations, joint rounds, remote visits, in-hospital and inter-hospital meetings, online diagnosis and treatment, surgical teaching, and other applications, greatly improving the work efficiency of doctors. 

    The construction and integration of the entire platform, scheduling various medical resources, optimizing medical resources, creating a good medical environment; at the same time, making it more convenient and cost-saving for patients to see a doctor." Section Chief of the Computer Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Kai Luo, explained to everyone.

    "Dual-activity is currently the most mature and stable solution for building the data center base in hospital information construction. To ensure the stable and reliable operation of the core business systems of our hospital, the technical route of using dual-activity solutions to carry the core systems of our hospital was determined from the beginning. Huawei launched the Dual-Activity 2.0+ solution for the medical industry, the core of which is to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of HIS business, and to improve the quality and efficiency of medical services." Director of the Information Center of Zigong Third People's Hospital, Xinchun Tao, shared.

    Director of the Medical Industry Solution Department of Huawei Data Storage and Machine Vision, Junxiong Zhou

     Informationization is not only convenient for the entire hospital's business but also provides higher quality services, more refined management, and more secure, stable, and efficient business operations. Junxiong Zhou, Director of the Medical Industry Solution Department of Huawei Data Storage and Machine Vision, brought a keynote speech on Huawei's innovative data infrastructure to help hospitals transform smartly, launching smart medical care with service-oriented, data fusion, and new ecosystem features, creating end-to-end solutions for smart hospitals. Huawei has built a stable, reliable, and innovatively efficient data base to protect the full lifecycle management of all hospital data, and through data fusion, ultimately helps hospitals achieve smart innovation.

    Finally, the experts on-site deeply discussed how to build and use the hospital information platform well, and the problems encountered in the process of information construction. Huawei has been working in the Sichuan medical industry for many years, providing end-to-end medical data infrastructure solutions. Subsequently, Huawei will continue to invest in the Sichuan medical industry, contributing to the development of people's health in Sichuan and promoting the deepening reform of the three medical linkages.
