Expanding high-quality medical resources and promoting high-quality development of county-level healthcare through artificial intelligence
2023-04-18
With the high-quality development of public hospitals and the continuous proposal of a series of policies such as the "Thousand County Project", county-level hospitals in China are facing policy opportunities for comprehensive development. Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Further Improving the Medical and Health Service System", which once again emphasized the importance of "promoting the expansion of high-quality medical resources and regional balanced layout" and "highlighting the leading position of county-level hospitals in the county-level region", To "leverage the supporting role of information technology and accelerate the application of the Internet, blockchain, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, and other technologies in the field of healthcare", a number of county-level hospitals have been continuously developed, with Lixin County People's Hospital being a typical representative. In recent years, the People's Hospital of Lixin County in Anhui Province has achieved significant results in the construction of smart hospitals and the improvement of medical service capabilities. Especially after introducing cutting-edge digital technology and artificial intelligence technology, the screening and diagnosis capabilities of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have been greatly improved. Lixin County People's Hospital has also been listed in the "List of County Hospitals for Comprehensive Capacity Improvement of the" Thousand County Project ", becoming one of the first demonstration units of the" Thousand County Project ". It is understood that in recent years, the imaging center equipment of Lixin County People's Hospital has been continuously upgraded with the assistance of artificial intelligence in screening diagnosis and treatment capabilities. In addition to installing advanced equipment such as Siemens dual source CT, cutting-edge digital technology for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular artificial intelligence has also been introduced. The combination of the two has greatly improved the efficiency of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular examinations. Now we have upgraded our software and hardware devices, and with the assistance of AI, doctors have achieved higher efficiency in image post-processing and film reading, as well as faster, more accurate, and more standardized reporting. "Fan Yu, director of the Imaging Center of Lixin County People's Hospital, introduced that patients who used to need 3 days to obtain reports can now receive them within 24 hours, greatly improving their medical experience. Fan Yu (first from right), Director of the Imaging Center of Lixin County People's Hospital, CT Angiography (CTA) is a widely recognized diagnostic method for coronary heart disease and a widely used alternative to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). The subsequent processing and diagnostic process are complex, and highly rely on the experience of senior medical students, which leads to a shortage of coronary CTA examinations for cardiovascular diseases. For the screening and treatment of coronary heart disease patients, imaging examination is the first step. "Fan Yu said," In the past, we could only do 2-3 coronary artery CTA examinations per day. After introducing digital AI, with the help of artificial intelligence, we can now achieve dozens of cases per day. "" We now hope to use artificial intelligence technology to help 1.7 million people in Lixin County carry out early screening and diagnosis of coronary heart disease, "Fan Yu said The role played by screening is particularly prominent, as coronary heart disease can be detected through timely physical examination. Only early detection can lead to early treatment. The application of digital AI products and artificial intelligence in Lixin County People's Hospital has helped county hospitals usher in development opportunities. Talent is the main constraint on the development of county hospitals. Taking imaging examination as an example, the amount of medical imaging data in China is increasing at a rate of about 30% per year, while the annual growth rate of imaging doctors is only 4%. High level imaging doctors often require more than ten years of training, and senior imaging professionals in grassroots hospitals
