Smart medicine has never been taken so seriously.

A sudden epidemic of COVID-19 this year has not only fully proved the important role of digital technology in scientific and technological anti-epidemic, but also accelerated the transformation of hospitals and other medical institutions from digital medical treatment to intelligent medical care.

In fact, from the "guidance on actively promoting Internet +" to the "Circular of the Health Commission on issuing an Action Plan for further improving Medical Services (2018-2020)", in recent years, a series of policies have been encouraging and promoting the construction of patient-centered smart hospitals by means of "Internet +".

Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji University (hereinafter referred to as: Tongji Hospital), as the only three-class general hospital in Putuo District, Shanghai, is a large-scale emergency, critical and complicated comprehensive diagnosis and treatment center in the northwest of Shanghai. Because it is located at the junction of the fourth district, radiating nearly 4 million surrounding residents and more than 2 million outpatients annually, Tongji Hospital has accelerated the construction and exploration of smart medicine in recent years. Through Huawei's OceanStor Dorado all-flash memory and dual active 2.0 + solution, an open smart medical platform has been built, laying a solid foundation for follow-up data fusion, patient experience enhancement, and intelligent medical ecological circle. Out of a stable and fast road to intelligent medical care.

Why do you need smart medicine?

In the stage of digital medical treatment, the hospital further promotes the digitization of hospital imaging, diagnosis, clinical examination and other business around the structured electronic medical records. However, with the gradual digitization of a large number of complex business systems in third-class hospitals, the interconnection and collaborative operation between businesses have become the greatest demand. in addition, the rise of new digital technologies such as 5G, big data, data lake, cloud computing, AI and other new digital technologies have accelerated the pace of intelligent medical construction.

From the perspective of business needs, tertiary and first-class hospitals have comprehensively transformed to "focusing on patients and improving service quality", deeply integrating 5G, big data, AI and other latest digital technologies with medical services, and making medical management, scientific research and clinical service systems more intelligent, so as to achieve the fundamental goal of greatly improving patients' medical experience.

To this end, Tongji Hospital, combined with the current hospital development trend, has created its own concept of intelligent medical care:

First of all, service-oriented, through the construction of an open intelligent medical basic platform, greatly enhance the patient's medical experience, and really achieve patient-centered. Secondly, the data scattered in various medical business systems need to move towards integration, centralized management and mining, to maximize the value of data, and further support the management's auxiliary decision-making. Third, gather partners, integrate advanced solutions, build its smart medical ecosystem, and jointly provide hospitals with intelligent medical solutions.

Driven by the concept of smart medicine, Tongji Hospital began to build a digital base to support the sustainable development of smart medicine in the future.

Digital base is the prerequisite for the sustainability of smart medicine.

Only when data flows and forms a business closed loop can it bring value.

The essence of smart medicine is to form a closed loop of business data through data fusion, flow, sharing and analysis, and then drive the business and service innovation of smart medicine. Tongji Hospital believes that the construction of smart medicine needs to be jointly driven by the hospital information center and the big data center. The information center in the hospital carries a large number of business systems, which is a data production area, which continuously produces all kinds of business data and flows to big data Center. After the analysis of big data Center, it further feeds back all kinds of business and improves the ability of auxiliary diagnosis.

Among them, the data storage that carries a large number of business systems of the hospital information center is very important. Taking 2019 as an example, the number of outpatients in Tongji Hospital has exceeded 2 million, with an average daily outpatient volume of more than 8000. Core production businesses such as HIS, LIS, RIS and EMR produce a large number of business data every day.

The stability, reliability and performance of data storage directly determine the sustainability of intelligent medical construction.

Taking the core business of HIS as an example, HIS system is an information management system covering all business and the whole process of hospital business, including registration, pricing, charging, prescription, human resources, finance and so on. It is the core business system of the whole hospital and belongs to the complex production and transaction business based on structured data. Once the data storage of the HIS system breaks down or has poor performance, it will affect the whole body and seriously affect the operation of the whole hospital.

Tongji Hospital believes that data storage is the digital base of intelligent medical care, stable and reliable, innovative and efficient is the core demand of the hospital for the digital base.

All-flash OceanStor Dorado dual active users 2.0 + make the road of smart medicine stable and fast.

In fact, the original data storage system of Tongji Hospital, which carries core business systems such as HIS, has been difficult to meet the needs of its intelligent medical construction because of its long service life and backward technology. For example, the performance of the original data storage system has been seriously insufficient, the business system runs slowly, and the response time is more than 30 seconds in the peak period, which begins to affect the normal operation of the hospital business. For another example, the original data storage system does not have protection functions such as double activation, and there are greater hidden dangers in data security; in addition, the original data storage system lags behind in technology and has poor capacity expansion capacity. Unable to support the growing capacity requirements of massive data brought about by intelligent medical care, unable to respond to a variety of services.

Tongji Hospital believes that the enhancement of the reliability of core business such as HIS system is an eternal pursuit, so that diagnosis and treatment behavior is not interrupted, business operation is not stuttered, and security threats are not worried.

To this end, Tongji Hospital adopted the intelligent hospital all-flash and dual-active 2.0 + solution based on OceanStor Dorado storage products to build the digital base of smart medicine to ensure that the development of smart medicine is both stable and rapid.

The digital base of Tongji Hospital is based on Huawei OceanStor Dorado all-flash memory device, which makes use of the advantage of all-flash memory to greatly improve the efficiency of the business system and achieve millisecond business response; at the same time, Huawei OceanStor Dorado all-flash memory device adopts Amura double-live gateway, which greatly reduces the difficulty of networking, reduces the point of failure and makes the performance better.

In addition, the Amura architecture is adopted in Huawei Wisdom Hospital's all-flash dual active 2.0 + solution, which can ensure that the business can be pulled up quickly after the failure of any data center, which really achieves zero RPO and RTO, and ensures that the core business is uninterrupted. CDM continuous protection technology can provide continuous data protection for both local and disaster recovery centers, and double protection ensures rapid recovery of data and business. More importantly, all processes are visual management, providing simple and convenient management before, during and after the event.

It is reported that after Tongji Hospital adopted the Huawei Wisdom Hospital all-flash dual active 2.0 + solution, the business peak pressure decreased significantly, the registration, waiting and drug collection time improved significantly, and the business response time decreased from more than 30 seconds in the past to about 3 seconds now, realizing the peak registration without stutter and round-the-clock reception.

Finally, the director of Information Department of Tongji Hospital said that Huawei Wisdom Hospital's 2.0 + solution of all-flash and dual-active activity perfectly solved the problems such as insufficient performance and business stutters encountered in the operation of Tongji Hospital's current HIS core business system, and helped the hospital to build an open and shared data architecture for the cloud service era, while also ensuring data reliability and business continuity, and escorting Tongji Hospital to rapidly realize intelligent medical care.
