In January 2018, the National Health and Family Planning Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine issued the "Notice on Printing and Implementing the Action Plan for Further Improvement of Medical Services (2018-2020)" that the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model will be promoted with patients as the center. Use the "Internet +" as a means to build a smart hospital.
In the public hospitals, in the past, the digital construction of private hospitals has been criticized. According to relevant information, there are very few private hospitals with more than 10 million yuan invested in hospital digital construction. The basic investment is less than 3 million yuan. Compared with most public hospitals, there is still a certain gap with most secondary hospitals. In the construction of the digital talent team, private hospitals are even more “stretchedâ€, and both suppliers and public hospitals are competitors.
Smart hospitals are the result of the emergence of new technologies such as the Internet, big data, and artificial intelligence. It is a general trend to build a smart hospital with Chinese characteristics. Chinese hospitals have also entered a new stage of the development of digital hospitals - the smart hospital stage. Under this stage, can private hospitals rely on the construction of smart hospitals to achieve "curve overtaking"?
Wisdom hospital is the result of continuous deepening of hospital informationization
In the medical field, the informatization construction of the hospital has experienced three gusts of wind. The beginning is the digitization of the hospital, then the Internet of the hospital, and the construction of the smart hospital.
Informatization construction began in the 1970s. In the new medical reform program in 2009, medical and health informationization was identified as one of the four major systems of medical reform and one of the eight major institutional mechanisms, and was promoted to a historical height.
In 2014, Internet medical services began to emerge, and platform-based Internet hospitals such as Micromedicine and Good Doctor Online began to rise. At the same time, offline physical hospitals have begun to use the Internet as a new technology to register online and make appointments.
In 2016, with the fierce new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, hospital information construction has become more in-depth, and the development of smart hospitals has begun to penetrate major hospitals.
In general, the development process of hospital informatization has generally experienced four stages: single-machine single-user application, department-level system application, hospital-wide system application, and regional medical exploration. The construction model has also undergone a certain transformation: from the business-oriented operation to the resource-oriented integration in the application purpose; from the one-to-one application to the collaborative service and the remote hospital in the application scope; in the development focus, from the data focus The collection shifts to focus on information utilization; in terms of implementation methods, it shifts from exchange-oriented to platform-oriented.
Where are the opportunities for private hospitals in the construction of smart hospitals?
In the past, public hospitals have always been an important participant in hospital informationization. They have benefited from policy support and financial subsidies, and have played an important role in the process of hospital information reform. In contrast, private hospitals, due to their small size and relatively tight capital chain, are in a disadvantaged position in the process of medical informationization .
However, under the new scenes and technologies, hospitals with better information construction are also facing upgrade and replacement options, which are not only costly, time-consuming, but also more laborious (such as data migration). The original information system of private hospitals is backward, but it has the advantage of the backwardness of cornering overtaking. It can directly enter the construction of intelligent hospitals without repeating the digital construction investment of hospitals. Specifically, the advantages of private hospitals in the construction of smart hospitals are reflected in:
First, the administrative approval of public hospitals is cumbersome, and smart hospitals are slow to promote progress. Private hospitals have traditionally been less than public hospitals with flexible management, large autonomy and flexible operating mechanisms. The construction of a smart hospital can be regarded as a "revolution" of the hospital, and the management system and structure of the hospital are greatly changed, which is difficult for public hospitals.
Second, the national policy for the expenditure of smart hospital construction has not yet been clarified. Not long ago, the new regulations for Internet diagnosis and treatment were introduced. The state defined the term “Internet medical treatment†and clarified the main body of supervision of Internet hospitals. However, the state has not mentioned the funds needed for the construction of Internet hospitals. This has undoubtedly made it difficult for the Internet of public hospitals to land. The capital of private hospitals mainly comes from the injection of social capital. The investors will guide the market and invest in the construction of the hospital.
Third, the extent to which the large medical team accepts and adapts to the new system is also a concern of the president of the public hospital in the process of building a smart hospital. The medical staff of public hospitals are relatively difficult to make changes because they are compiled and flowed less.
Fourth, in the construction of smart clouds, private hospitals are more likely to cut in. The public hospital informationization construction system is constructed independently according to a single hospital. The so-called “information island†is often formed between the hospital and the hospital, and there is more warning for the cloud on the hospital. However, private hospitals choose to adopt a group development model, which will tend to use cloud forms in software and hardware procurement, including cloud platforms, cloud storage, cloud centers and even cloud talents.
The significance of smart hospitals for the development of private hospitals
At present, there are many information service providers in China that provide smart hospital construction services. Further, even service providers have designed one-stop information system solutions for private hospitals. The content of the smart hospital construction service now covers the three stages of pre-hospital, in-hospital and post-hospital. Why can smart hospitals help private hospitals to achieve cornering overtaking?
As a private hospital operator, building a smart hospital will help to improve its competitive advantage. In the construction of information technology, public hospitals pay more attention to medical teaching and research work, and pay more attention to clinical business applications and data collection. Unlike public hospitals, private hospitals create smart hospitals that focus on providing better medical services to patients and improving patient experience. This can play a icing on the cake for improving the competitiveness of private hospitals.
In addition, the construction of smart hospitals is conducive to saving the cost of private hospitals. Smart Service's cloud service, through the use of SaaS (Software as a Service), private hospitals do not need to purchase hardware and software, but directly purchase services, software upgrades and daily services. This saves the cost of hiring hardware and software engineers for private hospitals, and the cost-effectiveness is better.
