In the new era of big data empowerment, cloud technologies are applied in all walks of life. When doctors meet intelligent cloud services, cloud computing brings Internet medical care closer and closer to us, so more and more patients can better enjoy miracles brought by cloud services. The intelligent cloud services enabled by the combination of eSurfing Cloud and medical technologies have created medical miracles one after another, which brings earth-shaking changes to medical care while benefiting patients.
Founded in 1956, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital is a Level 3 first-class general hospital focusing on orthopaedics and burn. The Hospital has research and treatment centers such as Beijing Trauma and Orthopedic Research Institute and Beijing Burn Research Institute. The National Computer Assisted Surgery Society and Computer Assisted Surgery Research and Application Center are also located in the Hospital. Today, the Hospital's annual number of operations reaches more than 50,000 cases, "the highest in Asia" among hospitals of the same scale. Wherein, the number of orthopaedic operations exceeds 40,000, ranking "the first in the world". After more than half a century of development, the medical technologies of its orthopedics, sports medicine and burn departments have reached the world's leading level, and it has become the "strongest orthopaedic hospital".
Facing challenges and directly addressing pain points of upgrading
With the continuous increase of hospital services, hospitals are in urgent need to address the storage, transmission and integration requirements of imaging, ECG, pathology, biology and other data. In addition, medical informatization requirements such as health alliances construction, national health informatization projects, telemedicine, and medical and health big data application are also serious problems faced by hospitals in the era of big data.
However, in the early hardware environment, the hardware resources of each service system were self-contained and cannot be scheduled and managed in a unified manner, which no longer meets current business requirements. In addition, the information system and network security of hospitals are not guaranteed, leading to huge costs and difficulties in the maintenance of the information center.
eSurfing Cloud + medical care -- wisdom on the cloud
Beijing Jishuitan Hospital and eSurfing Cloud commenced the data and image storage platform project to integrate and rebuild the basic hardware environment of the Hospital. The solution strives to achieve reasonable design and make full use of existing equipment. The Hospital adopts eSurfing Cloud to realize the transformation and upgrading of its IT architecture. Some medical applications and data are deployed in the cloud, which can reduce the cost of infrastructure investment and increase flexibility while solving the problem of space shortage in its own IDC.
The project evolves the overall structure from "two centers for three hospital zones" to "three centers for multiple hospital zones", and uses distributed storage, archive storage, Internet bandwidth, network dedicated lines, gateways and other data transmission methods to create a smart medical solution. Through the implementation of this solution, the hospital zones can directly access the cloud storage center by deploying clients, APIs and gateways. The health alliances zone can directly access the cloud storage by deploying the gateway server locally and matching it with the corresponding domain of the centralized storage environment.
Through the overall planning and transformation of the network, the collection, arrangement, analysis, optimization, control and interaction of medical service and management information can be carried out in an integrated, systematic, informatized and convenient manner, thereby realizing the informatized operation and intelligent management of various hospital services.
With significant results, the partnership continues to deepen.
After nearly half a year's application, the data and image storage platform project of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital has played an obvious leading role as a hospital benchmark in the medical industry, and has brought about fundamental changes in healthcare innovation, information cost decrease, working models and business models. In the early stage, the two parties have signed a contract on "MSTP dedicated line + 50T" object-oriented storage, and will add storage for migrating services of other core hospital zones and health alliances zones in the future.
With technologies featuring stability, scalability, high underlying IO and secure storage, eSurfing Cloud has effectively solved the various needs of the hospital and expert groups such as question answering, technical decomposition, full-life-cycle program planning, sub-scenario integration and multi-dimensional governance suggestions. This fundamentally resolves the core pain points faced by Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. The solution of "distributed storage, archive storage, and smart medical care" has enabled eSurfing Cloud to stand out among traditional equipment manufacturers and other cloud service providers and become the most trusted cloud service provider and in-depth partner of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital.
With great significance, project value forges industry value.
Through cloud technology, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital has achieved cloud storage of data and images, remote DR and backup, and cloud retrieval at the current stage, which lays the foundation for advanced and extended cloud applications in the future.
This project realizes the sharing and linkage within the health alliances zone, alleviates the problem of unbalanced medical resources, improves the professional medical level, and guarantees the construction of a tiered medical services system. It effectively solves the evidence preservation problem during doctor-patient disputes that has plagued the hospital for many years, promotes the change of the diagnosis and treatment process from fragmentation to aggregation, and maximizes the professional values of basic clinical and scientific research data and behaviors. Meanwhile, further in-depth mining of massive data in the cloud can in turn provide assistance to medical decision-making and personal health management, laying a solid foundation for building a smart medical cloud and a smart medical ecosystem.
Nowadays, informatization has penetrated into all aspects of hospital services and management, and informatization construction has become an important indicator of the core competitiveness of large general hospitals. The successful application of the data and image storage platform of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital has not only set up the industry benchmark and a typical case on the Internet, but also provided guidance for the medical circle to realize the new ecology "on that cloud".
