Abstract:
In order to carry out the " Healthy China 2030″ initiative, accelerate the cloud-based transformation of hospital information platforms, promote the construction of smart hospitals, and improve hospital informatization service capabilities, a tertiary hospital launched a comprehensive cloud-based practice for hospital operations in November 2020. A high-availability medical cloud platform designed for large general hospitals was built, by renting from carriers the Internet data center, installing highly scalable infrastructure, building multi-loop self-healing fiber-optic private network, applying the cloud-based software architecture using microservices and distributed storage, and implementing distributed systems′ full-link log and performance monitoring. In February 2021, the hospital migrated its medical care and operation management services on the cloud, achieving unified management of multiple hospital campuses, and reducing manpower and capital investment in computer room constructions. This practice ensured the continuity of hospital business, promoted the regional medical cooperation and the sinking of high-quality medical resources, and provided a reference for speeding up the promotion of nationwide hospital business to the cloud.
