Overview
An affiliated hospital of China’s Peking University, Peking University People’s Hospital (PKUPH) is a nonprofit health care institution nationally renowned for its clinical services, research and teaching excellence. Established in Beijing in 1918, PKUPH is the first comprehensive western medicine hospital built on funds raised solely by the Chinese government. It is now a tertiary-level first-class hospital under the direct supervision of the country’s Ministry of Health.
Business need:
To meet its expansion objectives, PKUPH needed to create a shared electronic health record system among community hospitals and healthcare centers throughout Beijing. PKUPH also wanted to provide more responsive, proactive care to patients with chronic conditions, hoping to improve the patients’ general well-being and reduce or prevent acute attacks.
Solution:
PKUPH is working with IBM Research - China and IBM Global Business Services to implement a community-wide electronic healthcare record system based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and international medical information standards. In addition, PKUPH is building into the platform telemedicine functionality that leverages mobile telecommunications and real-time messaging alert services.
Benefits:
• Continuous monitoring and real-time alert capability helps mitigate worsening of patients’ conditions, reduces acute attacks, and improves quality of life
• Converts disorganized files into standardized, interoperable formats using CDA (Clinical Data Architecture) adaptor
• Creates longitudinal electronic health records, allowing personalized health assessment and treatment based on individual medical circumstances
