However, due to the grading of emergency trauma surgeries, the scheduling of surgeries relies on human control, and the lack of an information system, resulting in long-term congestion in the emergency room, with an average of about 40 patients waiting for surgeries every day in the emergency room.
Cathay Hospital's smart healthcare team assisted Vietnam's Viet Duc Hospital in building an emergency medical information system
In order to comply with the *** New Southbound Policy, in August this year, Cathay General Hospital joined hands with the Foundation for Hospital Accreditation and Healthcare Quality to form a smart healthcare team, and traveled to Vietnam's Viet Duc Hospital to carry out a smart healthcare assessment and introduction program. The two sides signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on medical cooperation between Taiwan and Vietnam, with a view to assisting the Vietnamese hospital in solving the long-standing emergency congestion problem with the rich experience of Cathay Hospital.
The intelligent healthcare team was led by Chen Jianhua, director of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Cathay Hospital, and comprised of staff from the Department of Information Technology, the Quality Management Center, and the Department of Nursing, among other related professional fields***, who visited the emergency department of Vietde Hospital and reviewed the emergency operation process a few days ago. The medical team diagnosed that during the transfer process, Yueh-De Hospital was unable to know the condition of the patients before they arrived at the hospital in advance, which affected the follow-up treatment time. In addition, the lack of information system to assist in the examination of injuries in the emergency room, and the dependence on human beings for classification and scheduling of surgeries were the causes of the lack of effective triage of patients and the ineffective use of human resources, which led to the congestion of the emergency room.
Cathay Pacific Hospital and Vietnam De Hospital signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
Cathay Pacific Hospital's Director of Emergency Medicine, Mr. Chen Jianhua, pointed out that the inability to know the condition of the patient and the lack of a surgical scheduling system has a huge impact on the patient's condition and the lack of a surgical room or ward, which results in every patient being sent to the hospital. The first step is to make sure that you have the best possible results, and that you have the best chance of getting the best out of your system.
In order to promote the effective use of medical resources, Cathay Hospital and Viet Nam Hospital signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to assist Viet Nam in the establishment of an emergency medical information system, including the introduction of pre-hospital ambulance telemedicine system, the establishment of an emergency examination and surgery scheduling information system, to replace the existing human control.
Minister Chen Jinling of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Vietnam, Dr. Tran Quy Tuong and Dr. Pham Xuan Viet of the Hanoi Department of Health were present to witness the signing of the MOU, and three professionals from Vietnam will be dispatched to receive training at Cathay Hospital starting from October to assist in the intelligentization of the emergency medical process in the hospitals of Vietnam and improve the quality of medical care through the importation of the information system.
