"Cloud" assists with medical Huashan and medical Huashan

IDC, a well-known international Information Industry Research Institute, recently published a report on the use of cloud computing in the medical field, pointing out that the demand for cloud computing and cloud services in hospitals has transitioned from the ice-breaking period to a long term, cloud computing technology has become an inevitable choice for hospital data centers. Over the past year, public cloud computing pilot projects for Large top three hospitals have achieved good results. Some large hospitals have begun to use cloud computing infrastructure services (IaaS ). For example, Shanghai Huashan Hospital began to use Microsoft's smart cloud Azure this year to carry out distributed services, high-performance computing, APP services and data backup.

No matter how big the data is, the cloud platform can Hold it.

Huashan Hospital, affiliated to Shanghai Fudan University, is a Centennial Nursing Home. In recent years, with the rapid development of hospitals, the number of patients in service is growing: the number of daily outpatients is 13 thousand, and the number of hospitalized patients is as high as 2000 beds per day. The number of new image data is as high as 70 GB per day. If so much data is stored using the traditional IT infrastructure purchase method, Huashan Hospital will not be able to support both the space occupation and the cost of equipment procurement. Therefore, deploying on the cloud to achieve data storage and backup is the primary requirement of hospitals at that time.

Huashan Hospital joined hands with Microsoft's smart cloud Azure this year. With the help of Microsoft cloud services, Huashan Hospital deploys backup of endoscopic, ultrasound, pathology, and medical records on the home page with only one copy of data on the cloud, and provides a distributed service based on Azure, deploy the pharmaceutical management system on the cloud. With the help of Microsoft Azure team, the hospital was able to complete cloud deployment in just half an hour, implementing a city-wide pharmaceutical service based on Microsoft public cloud services.

Cloud platforms are the best choice for data O & M and analysis.

In O & M, in traditional IT construction, enterprises will spend a lot of energy on local resource management, which greatly limits the company's innovation capabilities. Now, this part of the hospital work can be handed over to the cloud platform, and the hospital O & M workload is greatly reduced. The hospital system administrator has more energy to focus on resource allocation, and gradually turn information management into asset-light management. Therefore, for Huashan Hospital, asset-light management is the best service model on the cloud.

Huashan Hospital also completed pharmacy quality control management through cooperation with Microsoft Azure. Before building the clinical pharmacy Quality Control Platform, Huashan Hospital mainly completed the process through paper Excel forms and Email electronic documents. After the platform was built, the hospital information center can better manage and analyze data in a centralized manner and connect it with the platform of the quality control center. It is estimated that Azure, as a-hour central platform, has reduced the cost of hospital re-learning and the opportunity cost of servers in the operation and maintenance process to a certain extent.

Helping medical innovation and Cloud technology benefit the masses

After meeting the needs of data storage, Huashan Hospital began to use the cloud to address the hospital's computing needs, including disease analysis in many clinical departments and individualized drug administration. During the study, a large amount of data is required for the calculation and construction of mathematical models. Huashan Hospital provides a high-performance computing service based on Microsoft Azure cloud, which improves the efficiency of clinical research and establishes a model for specific drugs to specific groups, this laid the foundation for personalized drug administration from the laboratory to the clinic.

Throughout the computing and testing process, Microsoft cloud helped the hospital save a lot of computing time and resources, helping it further explore the potential of more clouds. By combining Microsoft cloud computing with big data and applying it in future-oriented medical research and innovation, we help hospitals develop more scientific research projects on the cloud, including the new "single disease Database" developed by the hospital on the cloud and other scientific research achievements, committed to benefiting more patients.

When talking about why Microsoft chose the cloud, Huang Hong, Director of the information center of Huashan Hospital, said: "Microsoft is more concerned about the medical field than other cloud providers. Through channels, we learned that Microsoft can provide a lot of products and services in the medical field, and has invested a lot of resources. At the same time, Microsoft Azure can respond quickly to user needs, from the perspective of users, the focus is on the service and response efficiency of cloud service providers. "At the same time, Huang Hong also revealed that in the future, Huashan Hospital will cooperate with Microsoft Azure at the PaaS level to share resources between the new and old campus areas.

Postscript:

According to IDC reports, by 2018, 80% of the world's medical data will be transmitted through the cloud computing platform, medical institutions will use cloud computing technologies or cloud platforms for data acquisition, integration, analysis, and decision-making. Hospitals in China are also catching up with this trend. It can be seen that the cooperation between Shanghai Huashan Hospital and Microsoft's smart cloud Azure is only one example of the application of cloud in the medical industry. In the future, more hospitals will join the cloud deployment team. Microsoft Azure will continue to assist medical institutions in establishing a professional cloud platform for the medical industry, and help accelerate the innovative transformation of the traditional medical industry.
