Healthcare: Cloud computing services will spread

Li Lanjuan, academician of the Academy of Engineering, said in a special forum on medical informatization of China's cloud computing conference yesterday, the future of large data-based new health-care cloud computing models and family-based health services will run through households, communities and hospitals, where the standardization of data will be the basis for future medical data fusion.

Medical Informatization is one of the seven systems that health department will advance in the future. According to the reporter understands, the future includes the large-scale comprehensive hospital informationization unification standardization Construction, the establishment national electronic health file and the regional medical information platform three work, the fund scale will reach 61.1 billion yuan. Recently, the State Council issued the "Twelve-Five" national independent Innovation Capacity-building plan, also stressed that we should vigorously promote the basic capacity of medical and health technology construction.

Among them, big data and cloud computing receive high-level attention. Li Lanjuan revealed that during the two sessions this year, senior leaders in the relevant discussion meeting pointed out that the arrival of large data and cloud computing will trigger a revolution, the existing many issues need to adapt, or will be eliminated.

In this respect, Youcai, Deputy Director of the Statistics Information Center, said yesterday that medical technology development in the problem-solving, but also face the problem of rising ineffective costs. According to statistics, the United States in 2010 2.5 trillion U.S. dollars in medical costs, including at least 700 billion of the invalid cost, which is the main area of the future role of big data.

According to Li Lanjuan, the study said that at least 165 billion dollars in U.S. medical waste spending could be avoided by the development of large medical data, and cloud computing would be a key step in helping hospitals improve overall performance in the future.

In addition, the country currently vigorously promote the disease prevention and control system also need to rely on the role of large data. JQ, director of the national CDC's Public Health monitoring and Information Service center, said yesterday that large data would play a role in the prevention and control of chronic diseases, in addition to its important role in the areas of surveillance, early warning and epidemiological investigation.

Li Lanjuan said that the current standardization of medical information work is advancing in an orderly manner, the relevant research group has completed the drug, nursing, patient and testing knowledge base construction, the future will become the core of medical information. As for the future business opportunities of medical cloud computing, in addition to the hospital information construction and telemedicine, which has already been vigorously promoted, Li Lanjuan believes that the information exchange between doctors, physicians and patients based on large data is very promising.
