IBM teamed with MedTech to build smart platform

With the increasing proportion of the world's aging population, the demand for medical and health services is also increasing. Deepening medical reforms, improving hospital informationization levels, and helping hospitals achieve transformation are international development trends. Recently, the IBM China Industrial Technology Innovation Summit with the theme of "Building the Future to Win the Internet +" was held in Beijing. IBM announced that based on WebSphere Portal Server and PureApplication System, it will build a complete and integrated expert integration platform and hospital portal integration system with Medicare to help hospitals achieve seamless convergence of multiple business interfaces, solve the problem of interoperability of information systems, and improve hospital efficiency. To improve patient medical experience.

Achieve internal hospital data sharing among medical services <br> <br> What are the most dissatisfied patients? It is the inconsistency of hospital services. Registered to pay a sum of money, to make a check to pay a time, dispensing also paid a sum of money, frequent payment of the patient caused a lot of trouble. We cannot help but also ask why the service was inconsistent. It is actually an IT architecture. The inconsistent IT architecture in the medical and health field leads to the existence of “information isolated islands” between the systems, which can result in poor patient service experience and poor medical experience.

The integrated integration platform created by IBM and Medical Technology has enabled the sharing and integration of hospital internal information systems, hospital services and data. Xu Gang, middleware general manager of IBM's Greater China Systems Division, said that the cooperation with Hehui began in 2013. At that time, there was no such concept as the Internet+. When we cooperated, we have already seen and we have been exploring how we can help hospitals achieve transformation through our technology. How can hospitals help them achieve hospital information construction on a smart medical platform and be more open to support? The cloud-based platform supports our future medical hospital system to further upgrade.

“The Hospital2.0 smart open platform is one of the most important topics and goals for our cooperation. The core issue of the platform is to solve the problem of interoperability of information systems and completely change the IT architecture issues in the medical and health field.” Zhang Yizhong, Chairman of Medical Technology Co., Ltd. Say, "First, Hospital2.0 is a completely open platform, and all medical-related and clinical-related information services. We have changed the way we used to get data from each other to become an information service method. In order to avoid installing a software in the hospital, it is necessary to do interface with all the old business systems and to implement the situation, which greatly reduces the deployment cost of the software in the medical industry and changes the current status in the medical industry.Finally, through the concept of miniaturization Solve the problem of personalization without spending more money.”

Patient <br> <br> do integrate hospital information technology in recent years as the center has been highly concerned about, but with the development we have come to realize that we were tied information, hospital information systems is not true to say that the patient We do a lot of integration for the center, so many times we are faced with us to adapt to it, rather than an information system serving us personally.

For IBM, building an integrated platform for integration in the medical field means that there is a breakthrough. If you want to make such a system more open, more able to adapt to patient-centered, and be able to achieve some changes, you must make some changes to the information system.

Xu Gang said that IBM's cooperation with Hehui has created a more open platform. It not only solves the problem that the platforms in the hospital system can be connected and interoperable, but also needs to be able to make it more open and integrate with the outside world. The Hospital2.0 platform is completely open, can accommodate more application systems, can integrate more process systems, and only loosens the existing platform and does not bind it tightly, leaving its own platform open. Not only can it achieve the integration of exchanges and data, but it can also be done from the overall process and end-to-end processes. At the same time, when it is able to integrate with the outside world, it can also enable hospitals to make future innovation applications faster.

The concept of medical + Internet "Internet +" has brought about no small changes to all walks of life.

Zhang Yuzhong stated that medical services in the Internet era are one more layer than traditional services. Is it possible to get prescriptions for drugs on the Internet and deliver them to your home? Certainly not feasible. why? This medicine gives you a way to take it later, to ensure that you are using it correctly, and that feedback is needed. The service of medicine must strictly be a pharmacist to give you, not a person without medical qualifications, and there will be many problems. In my opinion, what is needed now is to promote the use of the Internet as a service model by medical institutions instead of making an Internet product substitute for this medical institution.

Xu Gang also has his own opinions. He prefers to speak "+Internet." “Because from the Internet+, you have to know that “Internet+Medical,” your core is not the Internet. Your core is medical care. You must be using some Internet methods to provide better and more efficient services to your patients. The platform can integrate more resources to do such services to improve the quality and quality of medical care. This is the most critical issue for the medical industry + the Internet."

Whether it is an Internet company or a medical enterprise, the core direction is to have a better way for patients to improve their medical experience. To a certain extent, the applications developed by Internet companies can make traditional enterprises go faster. Traditional enterprises also see that this one can do better, and it can also cause hospitals to have such mentality to make changes, I believe This is a win-win result.
