Communication with CTBS Remote Access Solution for the medical and health industry

Background
As a fundamental industry related to national economy and livelihood, the medical and health industry has no doubt about the importance of informatization construction. At present, China is in a critical period of medical reform, and the market needs to be further standardized. Medical and health institutions need to use advanced management tools to improve their management capabilities to cope with new reforms.
The information construction of medical systems is divided into three stages: Internal informatization of institutions, horizontal interconnection between institutions, and networked large medical care. In this development process, remote connection is a very important link, which is related to the overall management efficiency of the medical system and the key to providing better services for patients.

Industry needs

Today, China's large-scale hospitals have built HIS systems suitable for their own situations, such as: hospital management information system (MIS), Clinical Information System (CIS), medical imaging and Communication System (PACK), office automation OA) and financial related systems. However, due to the distance problem in the region and the imbalance of network development, an isolated island of medical information is formed. For example, the information systems of different departments cannot be shared due to the lack of network interconnection between the branches, outpatient departments, and community health service centers.
Some large pharmaceutical groups often have many subsidiaries, especially some enterprises, which have been merged, restructured, and listed in the development process. The informatization level of each branch and subordinate unit is uneven, in addition, key applications and information should be shared by integrating all links in the industry chain such as partners, suppliers, and distributors. Therefore, how to break the "information isolated island" status inside and outside the group and achieve collaborative business capabilities is undoubtedly a severe challenge to IT managers of enterprises.
In the face of challenges, many large hospitals and financial pharmaceutical groups will consider the ddnleased line solution. For example, some large hospitals connect to the branch and outpatient departments through a leased line to transmit Daily Outpatient charges, hospitalization information, and Social Security Information for access to the social security bureau. However, for county-level and township hospitals, expensive leased line solutions will bring huge operation costs to themselves, making IT budgets that are already very limited.
Another traditional solution is VPN Virtual Private Line Network. VPN has the advantages of low cost and high security, but it is difficult to deploy and has limited speed, when it comes to publishing large applications, the access speed often fails to meet the requirements. The speed of connection is critical for medical institutions that strive to compete for time.
Therefore, the medical and health industry needs a remote access solution that neither requires leased line network nor fast access.

Communication with CTBS Remote Access Platform

The communication CTBS platform is one of the most popular remote access solutions in China. It migrates applications in the LAN to the Internet by converting the C/S architecture Application Software B/S, no need to build expensive leased line networks or deploy and maintain clients, which greatly reduces the total cost of ownership for IT investment.

Communication CTBS is an integrated access solution based on the server computing mode. It has many advantages such as fast deployment, fast connection, centralized management, low O & M costs, and easy operation, it can solve the remote connection problem of many branches of the medical and health system and achieve network-based, collaborative big medical.

Communication between the deployment and operation of CTBS is very simple, and human-oriented. You only need to set up a CTBS server in the parent hospital to PACK the hospital management information system (MIS), Clinical Information System (CIS), medical imaging and communication system), and office automation OA) and the financial system and other application systems that need to be shared are released to the CTBS server. branches can access applications through the public network to achieve information sharing and real-time summary. Through communication with the high-speed information network of the medical and health system established on the CTBS platform, headquarters units can grasp the real-time information of the grass-roots units anytime and anywhere to cope with emergencies with ease; the grass-roots units can also keep abreast of the resource configuration of higher-level hospitals, such as blood database information and hospital bed information, and respond to major illness or emergency cases in a timely manner, greatly facilitating medical staff and patients, this improves the efficiency and level of medical care.

Communicate the value of the CTBS Solution
The communication CTBS remote access platform can provide medical organizations with remote access and deployment management experiences that are difficult to match with traditional access solutions within a very short deployment period, greatly enhancing the application value of various application software.
Anytime, anywhere access: Remote and travel staff can use any device, operating system, and connection methods to access the Headquarters application system.
Fast deployment and implementation: installation, configuration, and debugging are simplified. You only need to deploy the application system on the Headquarters CTBS server, instead of installing each computer one by one, the implementation cycle is greatly shortened.
Efficient use of network bandwidth: In normal CTBS applications, each user occupies only about 20 KB of bandwidth on average. Users can use any network connection method to achieve satisfactory speed without the high cost of leased line connection.
Reduce TCO): remote users can log on to the CTBS server to achieve the same effect as installing applications on the client. Client upgrades and patching are all completed on the CTBS server, this greatly reduces the IT staff maintenance workload, increases the response speed, and reduces the cost of on-site services. It has been verified that using a CTBS solution saves about 50% of system maintenance costs within two years. This proportion will increase over time.
Protect original investment: using the CTBS platform, there is no need to modify any code of the application, no need to change the existing network architecture, and no need to upgrade or maintain the client, this greatly prolongs the service life of hardware and software equipment and protects the value of original investment.
Centralized system deployment and management: the system administrator can control the process, resources, and status of the entire system at a single point, and deploy and supervise the normal operation of all links through effective control tools.
High Security performance: the CTBS itself provides encrypted transmission. In addition, it integrates the VPN function to provide more advanced security protection, and the connection is very stable, even if the network is disconnected, the information of the disconnection point will be retained, and the data operation will not be affected after the next connection is successful.

To sum up, as the largest provider of remote access platform in China, communication with the CTBS platform ensures that the medical and health system shares key applications and information with relevant work units and branches in a timely manner, establish a secure and reliable information network. Improve management efficiency and work efficiency, and help medical and health institutions to provide better and more thoughtful services to the society.
