走向未来的数字式医院

Moving towards Digital Hospitals of the Future

未来的数字式医院将综合先进的医疗设备、通讯网络和整合的医疗信息系统,对临床工作的流程带来根本性的变化,从而提高病人护理质量,减少医疗错误,节省时间和费用。数字式医院的进程有二个类别:一个是以现有的医院为基础进行数字化转型,另一个就是从零开始建造全新的数字式的医院。在美国有几家所谓的“全数字式医院”很快将成为现实。在不远的将来,新数字式医院的兴建将会更多。使医生能避免不必要的延迟或忽略,提高临床诊疗效果。

A digital hospital will incorporate advanced medical devices, communication networks and integrated hospital information systems to bring about the fundamental changes in clinical workflow to improve patient care, reduce medical errors, and save time & costs. Organizations moving towards digital hopitals fit into two categories:one is the existing institution that is going to adopt something new and the other is the organization that is starting with a clean slate. Several so-called 'digital hopitals' are close to becoming a reality in the United States. More announcements of new digital hispitals will be forthcoming in the near future. Imagine a digital hospital where a patient's medical history resides online, available instantly anytime,anywhere. Doctors can make faster, more informed decisions without costly delays or overlooked problems and thus to raise the diagnostic results.
