At 8 o’clock on the morning of October 13th, the West China Tianfu Hospital of Sichuan University, located at Xinglong Lake in Tianfu New District, was crowded, and hundreds of patients waiting here became the first patients in the hospital. Different from the narrow space of traditional hospitals, Huaxi Tianfu Hospital is very spacious. Outside the outpatient hall on the first floor, there is not only a coffee shop, but also a grand piano. In the words of Kang Yan, president of Huaxi Tianfu Hospital, this is a high-value hospital.
What are the "hard core" strengths of Huaxi Tianfu Hospital? How to ensure the homogeneous management with the headquarters of West China Hospital? After sending many doctors to the medical association, how to ensure that the medical technical strength of this department will not be diluted? The reporter visited this.
The software is "hard"
Experts in this department take turns to sit in the clinic, and all clinicians are stationed by Huaxi Hospital.
"I finally’ grabbed’ the number." On the morning of the 13th, outside the orthopedic outpatient department of Huaxi Tianfu Hospital, several patients exchanged experiences in registration. A patient from Neijiang said happily that he had always wanted to hang the number of Zhou Zongke, an orthopedic expert in Huaxi Hospital, and finally "grabbed" it here.
How can Huaxi Tianfu Hospital improve its soft power and better serve its patients?
"In order to ensure the homogenization of hospital management level, the management backbone of the leadership team and administrative functional departments of Huaxi Tianfu Hospital are all stationed by the headquarters of Huaxi Hospital." At the opening ceremony, Li Weimin, president of Huaxi Hospital, introduced that all medical and health information and inspection data of Huaxi Hospital and Huaxi Tianfu Hospital run on the same platform, and the inspection results are exchanged and human resources are shared, so that the clinical path and treatment plan of patients are completely consistent. All clinicians in Huaxi Tianfu Hospital are stationed by Huaxi Hospital, and all nurses are retained after passing the standardized training in Huaxi Hospital. At the same time, through the green channel of real-time remote consultation, real-time inter-hospital consultation and two-way referral of patients, the seamless connection of medical diagnosis and treatment between the two hospitals can be realized.
In addition, according to the unified management, experts from the headquarters of Huaxi Hospital will also take turns to visit Huaxi Tianfu Hospital. The reporter learned that among the first batch of open outpatient clinics in West China Tianfu Hospital, Professor Wang Jia of Urology, Professor Fu Ping of Nephrology and Professor Hong Xiao of Pain Department, who are usually hard to find on the 1st, will visit the hospital regularly.
Hardware is more "hard"
Green ecological hospital, the roof apron opens the "air lifeline"
1,200 beds, 14 medical centers, 2,000 parking spaces, and more than 2 million people per year-in addition to these, Huaxi Tianfu Hospital has the other side of "hard core".
An apron was built on the roof of the outpatient medical technology building of the hospital. According to the person in charge of the project, this is the first new material hospital apron in Chengdu, which echoes the aviation rescue response mechanism in the province.
The elements of landscape, forest, field and lake gather together, and Huaxi Tianfu Hospital is also a green ecological hospital. It is worth mentioning that in order to improve the overall greening rate, the construction team also built a garden on the roof, forming the "air green lung" of the hospital-the garden landscape area reached 80,000 square meters, accounting for 30% of the total construction area of the project.
Hospital equipment is also "hard core". The reporter saw in the outpatient pharmacy of Huaxi Tianfu Hospital that the self-service dispensing machine operated freely. Different from the manual dispensing process, the self-service dispensing machine puts the medicine into the machine after dispensing, and sends it to the pharmacist through the special transmission belt of the pharmacy when the patient takes the medicine, and then returns it to the patient after verification. The whole process only takes one or two minutes.
Self-service blood collection machine is also a highlight of Huaxi Tianfu Hospital. For elderly patients, the blood vessel scanner matched with the self-service blood collection machine can quickly and accurately find the position of the patient’s blood vessels, so that medical personnel can carry out blood collection operations.
Through the medical pneumatic logistics transmission system, a small number of specimens can be transported directly through the system, and it takes only 3-5 minutes to transport to the corresponding site of the laboratory. "Compared with manual transportation, it takes 20 minutes, and the advantage is’ fast’, which can greatly shorten the inspection time for the rescue of emergency patients."
The radiology department is called the most valuable place in the hospital. At present, 6 CT equipments and 4 nuclear magnetic resonance instruments have been put into operation. Huang Zixing, deputy chief physician of the Department of Radiology, told the reporter that the CT equipment currently used in the hospital is worth 20 million units, which is the same as that used in Mayo Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital, the world’s top hospitals. Compared with other CT equipment, the equipment adopts AI algorithm, which has extremely fast scanning speed, lower radiation dose and clearer imaging. Doing MRI in West China Tianfu Hospital can realize "same-day appointment and same-day inspection".
A question
Ensure that medical resources are not diluted   What should Huaxi Hospital do?
Shangjin Branch of Huaxi Hospital, Wenjiang Campus of Huaxi Hospital, Longquan Hospital of Huaxi Hospital … Nowadays, there are more and more "Huaxi Brand" hospitals. Since 2001, Huaxi Hospital has begun to innovate and explore the organizational model of medical associations. After years of practice, the leading medical association of "Huaxi Hospital+City Medical Group/County Medical Community" has gradually formed. Will so many members of the medical association dilute the medical technical strength of Huaxi Hospital?
Li Weimin, president of Huaxi Hospital, said that in accordance with the unified deployment of the sinking of national high-quality medical resources, Huaxi Hospital has been reserving human resources and expert resources since 2015 to prepare for Huaxi Doctor Group. Up to now, 758 professional doctors, backbone nurses, backbone technicians and managers have been reserved, which is an important support for human resources when Huaxi Hospital is stationed in hospitals outside its headquarters. "After unified training, the doctors of Huaxi Doctor Group were sent to the headquarters of Huaxi Hospital, branches, trusteeship (cooperative) hospitals and other places to carry out their work."
"These backbone doctors reserved by Huaxi Hospital have gone through years of standardized training and reached the level of specialists or experts." Li Weimin introduced that at present, there are 741 qualified medical team leader candidates trained by West China Hospital, but there are only 500 medical team leader positions in the hospital headquarters, and 241 senior doctors can be stationed in other hospitals, so as to give full play to high-quality expert resources. "Therefore, the medical resources of the headquarters of Huaxi Hospital have not been diluted, and the doctors stationed can further develop on the new platform."   (Zhang Xinyue   Reporter   Li Huan   Zhang Minghai)
