The First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University, founded in 1958, is a Grade III, Class A general hospital integrating medical treatment, teaching, research, and prevention. Recently, the project titled "Device Connectivity, Care Efficiency": Creating Patient-Centered Smart New Services, focusing on Lachesis's Smart Ward solution and led by the Information Department team of the hospital, won the Excellence Award at the 4th "Vertiv Cup" Smart Healthcare Innovation Competition.In the project presentation, the hospital first shared the project's origins and pain points, described how Lachesis's products helped address these challenges during their application in the wards, summarized the project's overall innovations, and explained the significance of its promotion and widespread adoption.

The project "Device Connectivity, Care Efficiency": Creating Patient-Centered Smart New Services leverages technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, smart devices, and AI intelligent analysis to achieve interconnected data among medical staff, patients, and smart devices. It innovatively builds patient-centered smart services based on this data foundation.

1. Implementing Bedside Services for Quality Nursing

Nurses use mobile terminal PDAs and mobile nursing workstations to quickly complete tasks like the three checks and seven verifications, vital signs entry, and documentation at the bedside. This effectively ensures medical quality and safety, improves nursing work efficiency, reduces the frequency of nurses traveling back and forth to the nursing station, and "returns the nurse to the patient."

The bedside interaction system integrates the nurse station, patient rooms, corridors, bathrooms, etc., enabling patients and their families to call nurses at any time. Nurses can promptly respond to and meet the needs of those under their care, effectively enhancing communication efficiency among medical staff, patients, and families, and fostering a positive doctor-patient relationship.

2. Continuous Monitoring of Patient Vital Signs for Constant Safety

The Vital Signs Acquisition System uses an all-in-one vital signs collector to intelligently and rapidly collect multiple types of vital signs data. Simultaneously, the system can transcribe the data into nursing documentation with one click and automatically upload it via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.The Non-contact Vital Signs Monitoring System enables 24/7 real-time, continuous monitoring of critically ill patients' respiration, heart rate, in/out-of-bed status, and body movements. The system automatically alarms upon any abnormality, allowing medical staff to intervene promptly, ensuring patient safety during hospitalization.

3. Full Closed-loop Infusion Management for Nurse Peace of Mind and Patient Assurance

The Full Closed-loop Intelligent Infusion Management System allows for real-time remote monitoring of patient infusion status. Nurses can manage dynamically based on the infusion progress, providing timely medication preparation, bottle changes, and needle removal for patients. Nurses receive alarm alerts anytime, anywhere when the infusion residual volume falls below a set threshold or the drip rate is abnormal.

4. Precise Management of Ward Medications to Ensure Patient Medication Safety

The Ward Intelligent Medication Management System achieves refined medication management for ward stock drugs by individual unit, expiration date, and batch number. This transitions management from cumbersome manual processes into the era of informatized, intelligent management.

The Smart Ward project has been widely praised since its implementation at The First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University. Other hospitals in the Ganzhou region and municipal committee leaders have visited the hospital for observation and study on multiple occasions. In the future, Lachesis will continue its collaboration with the hospital to develop more and better products for clinical use.
