Three suggestions for large data application in medical industry

From the current situation, to achieve the integration of hospital information platform, technology and products without any obstacles, the most critical is the user's concept can be changed. In fact, the cost of hospitals to purchase medical professional equipment is higher than the investment in it. Hospital leaders must change the past. IT department is the concept of cost center, the development of hospital is inseparable from it. A hospital CIO told reporters: "A lot of people think that the bank's IT system is very important, in fact, the hospital's IT system more importance, because the bank's IT system if the downtime, the loss may be money, and the hospital IT system if there is a problem, it is likely to relate to human life ”

Three development stages of hospital informatization

In the hospital Information Age 1.0, IT systems are built around the application, a business system is usually configured with a set of independent hardware, software, thus forming a large number of information islands. In the 1.0 era of hospital informatization, providing support for PACs, RIS and his service system is the core of hospital informatization.

In the 2.0 era of hospital informationization, the construction of hospital informatization gradually shifted to the establishment and popularization of electronic cases, and the prerequisite of constructing electronic case system is to realize seamless connection and information sharing of RIS, PACs and his, and to realize integrated access and control. In the hospital Information Age 2.0, IT infrastructure integration is the key, but also the basis of data management and utilization. At present, many hospitals are exploring new information development path: First, establish an integrated infrastructure platform, and then set up a unified hospital information integration platform, realize the interconnection of each application system, and finally achieve unified, integrated resource management. Tianjin Haihe Hospital is actively exploring this aspect.

Ma Mingzai, general manager of Health and Life sciences in the Asia Pacific region, said: "Two-thirds of our existing customers have proposed the need for infrastructure integration, and some hospitals even put forward the requirements for building a whole-yard integrated infrastructure platform." Infrastructure consolidation is driven not by HDS, but by the actual needs of the user. The HDS solution is just right to meet the needs of the user's consolidated storage architecture. ”

In the medical profession, the demonstration effect of the typical user is very obvious. For example, the Wuxi second People's Hospital builds a sustainable healthcare intelligence information platform using the HDS VSP high end storage and the HCP (Hitachi Content Platform) archiving program. Whether the scale, responsiveness or information level, Wuxi the second People's Hospital in Wuxi are the top of the local. Influenced by it, many hospitals in Wuxi and even throughout East China have opted for HDS solutions.

HDS China technical director Uchy said: "In the medical industry, PACS data accounted for the total number of hospital data 70%~80%, the storage, management and use of these unstructured data has become a focus of the current hospital informatization." "Statistics show that only one community hospital or a medium-sized pharmaceutical company can accumulate terabytes or even petabytes of data. For most successful medical institutions, the use of large data has become a key strategy for increasing productivity, improving nursing standards, enhancing competitiveness, accelerating growth and innovation. In order to integrate the large data of different departments or different life science systems in hospitals to achieve the fullest information search and sharing, the ideal storage architecture must be an integrated system capable of processing block data, files and content, with large capacity and high performance.

In the 2.0 stage of hospital informatization, the enterprise adopts HDS high performance hnas can solve the problem of large data processing performance completely. The in-depth excavation and analysis of large data is the main task of the 3.0 phase of hospital informatization. The goal of Hospital Informatization 3.0 is to build a sound regional medical system, which relies heavily on cloud computing technology.
