Technical standard for the front line medical information market pave the way for today

"If the cart is also in front of the horse, the horse can walk poodle?" in 2005, the United States healthcare information and management society (HIMSS) is China's medical information.

However, 5 years later, China medical information is better than before. Chinese Hospital Association information management Committee (CHIMA) Chairman will Martin Leung pointed out: "currently Chinese medical information rendering rapid development, both for domestic and foreign manufacturers or medical institution concerned is a rare opportunity. ”

Technical standards to pave the way forward

Expo with HIMSS seminars and training sessions organised by the Chinese medical information development of the main topics.

Deputy Minister of health at the meeting that the yinli Ministry of health is planning to develop Chinese medical information development of relevant standards, has formulated the basic structure of inhabitants of health records and data standards, hospital electronic case basic framework and data standards, and a series of health information standards, procedures and management methods, which work as medical institutions and health managers to share health information between resources laid the Foundation.

At the same time, the Ministry of health also speed up the construction of the national health information, including research and development of the next five-year health information development planning, participation in major national health information project, strengthen underlying health informatization pilot, etc.

In the seminar, Lee covers listed the Obama administration in medical information of some measures he considers these measures are worth learning from China.

In the United States, there is a set of standards for all medical information of products certified for compliance with the standards of the products before they can enter the market, and the hospital uses a standards-compliant products to get government funding; in addition, hospitals must also implement medical information product "effective application", the Government on the application of the "effective" measure taken 23 standard, only meet the criteria of article 23 of the Government will be another part of the financial subsidies to the hospital.

From the entire process, standards, certification, inspection finds that the effective use of these links is closely linked to the Government.

In addition, the establishment of uniform technical standards to ensure the effectiveness of medical information, especially in the discussions.

Uniform technical standards is to promote the efficient operation of the Foundation. The industry that, faced with numerous information systems of complex data, the difficulty of establishing uniform standards lies in how to implement the interchange between different systems.

Spent on it, not the hospital initiative

And other countries compared to the same scale of hospital, China hospital in the area of medical information is still at the embryonic stage.

However, although it cannot be compared with developed countries, but the Chinese medical information starting point but not lower than developed countries.

These results show that at present in China 1000 level III hospital, computers equipped with ratios in the world is not a very backward.

Moreover, more than 90% of the County and county hospitals have established a registration fee, pharmaceutical equipment, medical management, and other content of the hospital management information system; 1/3 or more hospital has established a patient-centered, electronic case for the integration of information systems.

Chinese Hospital Association information Commission investigation revealed that at the tertiary hospital, application testing fee system, drug management system and registration system of the proportion reached 93%, 91% and 84%; application of hospitalization workstation system and hospital workstation system ratio reached 80% and 63%; over the past three years, half of the tertiary hospital Informationization construction investment exceeds 100 million.

Multiple data show Chinese medical informatization progress quickly and clearly, the effort is significant.

With this procedure inadequate investment promotion, and also became a problem.

The Ministry of health information technology expert group expert Professor Lee holds them pointed out that China's Hospital should have annual revenue of 10% to 20% and get back to your medical information to first-tier cities to plan, annual revenue reaches $ 2 billion in three hospitals, at least to invest $ 20 million for information.

The current Chinese medical informatization also relies primarily on hospitals and Government support is not enough.

To do this, engage in medical information in an enterprise that medical information of the current major dilemma lies in the small and large output, input of medical institutions have yet to see the information of the necessity and benefits, therefore, to mobilize the enthusiasm of the hospital to become critical.

In the foreign-funded enterprises, China medical information market although not to the blooming season, but its potential is considerable demand.

It is reported, Microsoft, Dell, IBM, Philips, ESRI, and other multinational companies have been aimed at the China medical information fields, rolling up arrangement for Chinese market.
