When you walk into the lobby on the first floor of NTU Children's Hospital, you can see the hard facilities designed with the "child's height" from the counters to the waiting area outside the clinic, and the medical station, and the bright lighting and color schemes not only ease the anxiety of the children, but also allow the medical staff to communicate with the patients in the "child's voice" in the subtle environment. The bright lighting and color scheme not only ease the anxiety of the patients, but also allow the medical staff to communicate with them in a childlike manner in a subtle environment. The newest addition to the lineup is the newest addition to the lineup, the newest addition to the lineup, the newest addition to the lineup.
Implementing the "child-friendly" approach to healthcare In a child-centered approach, the footprints of "child-friendly" healthcare can be seen everywhere in the hospital. In the Department of Pediatric Radiology, in addition to professional pediatric radiologists and nursing staff, there are also counselors who do psychological counseling for children before they undergo computed tomography (CT) scanning or radiation treatment, and who inspire children to change their minds and spontaneously accept the test by means of situational settings. The same scenario is also played out in the children's oncology ward, where counselors help stabilize the mood of cancerous children before bone marrow and spinal examinations, so that the children do not need to be sedated and anesthetized in order to undergo the examinations smoothly. In the rehabilitation room, the hospital uses a wild jungle as the design theme, so that children who are insecure due to physical limitations or who need long-term special care can remove their self-defense and integrate into the room. For those who want to get more information about healthcare, or want to take a break from caring for their children, the Family Resource Center is a haven for the soul.
However, friendly medical care is not covered by health insurance, and even the income from health insurance coverage is relatively small, so will this cause a burden on the hospital? The newest addition to the list is the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list, the newest addition to the list. Since the Children's Hospital has been promoting friendly medical care, it has received strong support from many foundations and friends, and these social resources have allowed the children to visit the hospital in a loving environment, and also witnessed the power of Taiwan.
Speaking of medical teams, President Wu Mei-huan said that NTU not only has the most complete pediatric medical specialties and 25 subspecialty medical teams, but also focuses on integrated outpatient care, such as the nation's first "Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center". Why do you emphasize on adults? She analyzed that patients with congenital heart disease usually need to be tracked all the way from childhood to adulthood, but congenital heart disease belongs to the pediatric cardiology specialty, so when patients seek treatment for other medical needs in adulthood, adult cardiologists may not be able to fully grasp the situation, resulting in the patient having to return to the pediatrics department when he or she grows up. To solve this problem, NTU's Adult Congenital Heart Disease Center has created a specialized care manual for different types of congenital heart disease patients, so that when the patient visits the doctor for other problems, he or she can rely on this manual to let the doctor know about his or her condition.
The Center also provides "whole-person care" for congenital heart disease patients from birth to adulthood, combining the resources of a team of patients through the stages of ***, so that children can grow up with peace of mind. In addition, there is a tuberous sclerosis integrated clinic, a special team for neuroblastoma surgery and medical research, a team for the treatment of intractable epilepsy in children, and a team for cerebrovascular trichotillomania in children, providing a full range of services for children.
Four major children's hospitals guarding children's health
Children's version of the medical network is unique in the country As a leader in children's hospitals across the country, NTU Pediatrics has up to 65 intensive care beds, and the acute and critical care has reached world-class standards. The healing environment for children reduces the sense of rejection of the hospital, and its dedication to creating an exclusive medical space for children can be seen in the ocean-themed health clinic, elevator doors decorated with images of plants and animals, the ward playroom, and the well-stocked Family Resource Center.
Not only are the hardware facilities fully "child-oriented," but for the mobile Internet generation, NTU has also designed the nation's only children's version of the medical website, which is the QBee Children's Health Paradise in the lower left corner of the home page of the Children's Hospital. In the "Health Information Hall", there are detailed health education information written by physicians of various disciplines, a question-and-answer area for parental consultation, and the "Magic School of Health", a health knowledge platform presented in the form of a storybook, in which the characters such as the president and the director of training are modeled after the head of the NTU Hospital, with Dean Wu Mei-huan as the director of teaching, and the script is designed by Dr. Huang Chiu-yuan of the Department of Radiation Oncology of the Cancer Hospital, which is designed to provide professional advice on life-oriented topics such as asthma, scalded and sun-protection, and to provide advice on life-oriented topics such as sun-protection, The script was designed by Dr. Huang Chiu-yuan of the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Cancer Hospital, and the dialogues were written in children's language after consulting with medical professionals on life-oriented topics such as asthma, burns, and sunscreen. The "Discovery Paradise" features Q-Bi, the mascot of the Children's Hospital, as the main character to introduce the history of NTU Pediatrics and the facilities on each floor of the hospital. The "Game World" features online mini games such as Joyful Puzzle and Organ Puzzle. The "Secret Base" regularly publishes information about the hospital's health seminars.
Recalling the small stories of NTU Pediatrics, what Dean Wu Mei-huan remembers most is the secret visit of Lin Chi-ling and the autographed posters of Jeremy Lin, which started after the children's oncology ward was moved into the pediatrics building. Chi-Ling, whose work has shifted to the mainland in recent years, made a low-key visit to the cancer ward after learning that there was a young fan of hers there. Dean Wu Meihuan said the fan was a teenage girl who was kept in the isolation ward to reduce the risk of infection. At that time, Chi-Ling put on an isolation suit to visit her, just ten minutes of meeting, the girl's eyes have been emitting an incomparable bright light, along with the medical staff to watch through the glass of the President Wu Mei-huan said, "Looked at it and felt very moved. The connection with Jeremy Lin was a matter of chance. President Wu Meihuan learned that many boys in the cancer ward liked Jeremy Lin, so she personally contacted Lin's agent, but Lin's schedule in Taiwan was too full for him to visit in person, so as compensation, she sent two signed posters to NTU, which are still hanging on the wall of the cancer ward! The posters are still hanging on the wall of the cancer ward!" laughed Dean Wu Meihuan. Speaking of the opportunity to fulfill the dreams of children with cancer, she said she just wanted to let the children know that they are not alone despite the seriousness of the disease. Dr. Wu Mei-huan, the dean of the university, said firmly. Children represent the nation's productivity for the next 20 to 30 years, and all investments in children are priceless. In order for children to have a good healthcare environment, healthcare, education, and research must be intertwined in order to weave a tight healthcare network for children. For this reason, NTU has cooperated with *** to implement research into policy, and the current nationwide stool card was developed to break through the bottleneck in the treatment of bile duct obstruction. Today, the stool card system has been incorporated into the child health handbook, allowing young children to be examined and treated early, and the implementation of the results has been outstanding. Regarding the current state of children's healthcare, she said that Taiwan's children's healthcare talent level is one of the highest in Asia, so it's not difficult to maintain the leading edge. The key point is to allow pediatricians to gain a sense of accomplishment in their specialty and avoid overworking the on-call physicians, so as to keep the best talents in hospitals and services. When it comes to children's health care, she analyzed that Taiwan's health care is still stuck in the level of treatment of diseases, and the future should be added to the concept of health promotion, in order to expand the vision of care and improve the level of pediatric medical care.
And after many years in pediatrics, and seeing so many sick children come and go, President Wu Meihuan also felt that parents are like a blank sheet of paper, on the road to seeking medical treatment, often because they don't know how to filter the right information, and have taken many wrong paths, and therefore delayed the child's access to medical treatment. She called on parents to follow the formal channels such as hospitals and professional medical websites to collect information and not to be misled by the wrong information on the Internet, so as not to let their children miss the best time for diagnosis and treatment.
As the bud on the head of the mascot QB symbolizes that every child is a sprout, NTU Children's Hospital is like a large, vibrant organism, and the various departments of the hospital are clusters of small organisms that grow in it, and President Wu Mei-huan laughs and says that she is like a gardener in the garden, and that when there are flowers that need to be irrigated, she will bring water to water them and give them the nourishment they need. She says that in the future, NTU Pediatrics will not be limited to the development of a single field, but will develop a full range of patient-centered care. As the overall helmsman of the nation's children's hospitals, NTU will continue to ride the waves on the internationalization course in the future, leading Taiwan's children's hospitals to the world and creating a brand new tomorrow for children's healthcare.
Four major children's hospitals guarding children's health Machai Children's Hospital Three hearts for caring for sick children Machai established the first polio reconstruction center in Taiwan in 2005, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in 2005, establishing a pioneering position in preterm infancy care. Since its inception, the Makai Department of Pediatrics has set numerous firsts in the industry, and the textbooks Clinical Pediatrics and Clinical Neonatology, edited by Dr. Huang Fu-yuan, have written a brilliant page in Taiwan's pediatric medical education. Inviting Japanese illustrators to paint the wards As a national pediatrics town, Makai, when embarking on the Children's Hospital's pre-operation, originally envisioned the construction of a stand-alone medical building, but in the center of the city of Taipei, where the land is expensive, it is difficult to buy a plot of land, which can be said to be as difficult as heaven. Former director of the Department of Pediatrics, the current Children's Hospital medical commissioner Chen Mingren revealed that previously locked Minsheng East Road, an empty piece of land, the results of the inquiry is too much higher than expected, due to a lack of funds to stop. The hospital later proposed to move the Children's Hospital to Danshui, but taking into account the patients can not be as concentrated as the city center, and finally decided to continue to stay in the main hospital. Although it is not possible to establish a single children's hospital, but the medical resources still need to be integrated, Makai therefore invested 250 million yuan to refurbish the gospel building, and invited a famous Japanese illustrator to design the theme of the image of the gospel building of the front building of the first floor as the entrance hall of the children's hospital, the second floor was set up as the outpatient batch price of the eighth floor of the physiological examination room, children's wards are concentrated in the 10th to 13th floors. The total number of beds in the Children's Hospital is 192, including 88 acute beds, 35 intensive care beds, 55 neonatal beds, 12 isolation beds for children with low immunity and cancer, and 2 negative pressure isolation beds for children with infectious diseases. In terms of image design, the visitor elevator hall on the first floor of the Evangelical Building, the main wall with a mosaic spliced into a symbol of "hope" Noah's Ark image; the 10th floor neonatal ward with a variety of animals newborn baby footprints as "footprints of growth"; the 11th floor children's intensive care ward with "Makai small school" as the conceptual theme, the Statue of Liberty in the United States, the Tower of Paris and other landmarks of various countries into the hospital, so that children with cancer who can not travel abroad, can not travel, can not travel, can not travel. The 11th floor children's intensive care ward takes "Makai Little School" as the conceptual theme, moving the American Statue of Liberty, the Paris Tower in France and other landmarks into the hospital, so that cancer patients who are unable to travel abroad can see the world's sceneries in the hospital; the 12th floor children's ward is themed on the theme of "Joyful Forest", with a representative animal in each ward; the 13th floor general ward and the quarantine ward area are designed to have an interactive music corridor combined with a LED light game, whereby as long as someone passes by, the walls will ring with different sounds when it detects the silhouettes of people, In addition, with the theme of marine life, whales and crabs swim on the door of each ward. The different themed images on each floor reduce the fear of hospitalization for young children.
