China's IT industry in the last piece of the "fat" — medical information

It has been said that the medical industry IT is China's IT industry in the last piece of the ' fat ', indeed, it looks great, but it does not ' fat '.

Foreign manufacturers of the "cake" mainly in hardware procurement, domestic mainly doing software.

Because the price is too high, but localization is difficult to solve, so the software part is still controlled by the domestic enterprises, but it also does not benefit than do hardware, "due to domestic enterprises are mainly concentrated in the software field, so the market has been divided up very carefully. ”

Domestic medical information can be divided into three phases: the first stage is HIS, but mainly to finance information system, at present, 70 percent to 80 percent of the hospital still at this stage; the second stage is the hospital system, will join some clinical something, such as electronic medical records, health check-up, and now there are 20 percent of the country's health care is changing to the stage; in the third stage is the public health area information, including a number of system shared between hospitals, as well as small and medium-sized cities or major cities an interregional sharing may involve residents archives, health emergencies, and so on.

While this phase in the next two to three years should become a trend.

In General, large hospitals are actively promoting clinical IT applications, such as doctors, nurses workstation, the workstation with foreign advanced level very close.

Currently, although there is no industry-wide data IT needs, but estimates IT annual budget revenue share percentage overall hospital about 0.5%-1%, is significantly low levels.

It is understood that the present Beijing Xiehe hospital, 301 hospital and other hospitals have separately in 60 rooms, six of Ward has established a mobile clinical workstation, Shanghai changning maternal and child health hospital is in 7 layers Ward floor adoption 32 wireless access point, AP, doctors and nurses can at any time before the beds for vital signs data, health data and inputs, doctor wards, bedside care, call communications, care monitoring, drug delivery applications.

But due to the personnel training for the lag, HIS application was not optimistic.

Despite HIS financial system embodies its superiority, but otherwise still does not reflect the convenient. Health care workers are usually will understand the situation in the present, and then type into the computer, due to computer operation of unskilled, make a doctor's clearance imperceptibly become excessively bureaucratic.

You can see, the potential demand, after all, just a kind of intention for IT companies to truly translating it into their own markets, but also a very difficult process of climbing, the most difficult period should be the realization of information sharing.

Information sharing is a fundamental point of electronic medical records, if possible, not only is an important basis for the diagnosis and treatment, are also important medical research practice data sources.

However, in practice, electronic medical records but encountered many challenges.

In Singapore, the country's only two large medical group-national health insurance group health insurance group and Singapore, each group of controlled many hospitals and clinics, but each group is only one part of comprehensive it information, therefore, in the same interest of the community for information sharing is easy.

On the other hand, the Chinese market, but opposite, 18 million hospital located in the small city, between the hospital and the hospital is different interests, the information is very difficult to share.

In fact, electronic medical records in the information-sharing challenges is only an apparent deeper problems in the internal organisation and hospital management, business process changes.

"Once the information system, hospitals, traditional management structure, the traditional management processes and organization are great changes. And this is present in many hospitals unbearable or reluctant to accept. "One of the medical professions in the industry.
