Patients can also view test and examination reports in real-time at their bedside, check billing statements, order meals, etc., experiencing convenience and thoughtful care.

During hospitalization, patients wear a unique identification code. Medical-grade smart devices continuously monitor various patient indicators. Real-time AI data analysis, based on a clinical knowledge base, provides healthcare staff with tiered early warnings, enabling earlier intervention to reduce the risk of patient deterioration.

Based on different clinical scenarios, medical staff can complete ward rounds, information queries, and data entry right at the patient's bedside. This significantly reduces trips between patient rooms and the nurse station/office, greatly improving work efficiency. It returns time to healthcare providers, allowing them to deliver smart services like diagnosis, remote consultations, rounds, nursing, education, and billing directly at the bedside.

During infusion, nurses can remotely monitor the status throughout the ward. Ultra-micro gravity sensors track remaining fluid volume, time, and drip rate in real-time. The system provides timely alarms for abnormalities and reminders for near-completion, enabling nurses to proactively change bottles or remove needles, giving both patients and their families greater peace of mind.

In sudden emergencies, a closed-loop patient急救 process covers key steps like triage and post-resuscitation observation, enabling seamless connection with inpatient wards. The intelligent rescue system makes clinical抢救 efficient and orderly, automatically recording the entire process.

After resuscitation, the system enables rapid inventory counting, improving nurse efficiency and the management quality of emergency carts. Managers can also comprehensively oversee all smart emergency carts in the hospital remotely, conducting quality control on quantity, management quality, and usage status, thereby aiding the construction of an intelligent three-tier emergency care system.

Covering multiple hospital pharmacy scenarios including specialist outpatient, inpatient, and ward pharmacies, it leverages information technologies like big data, cloud computing, and IoT to utilize various data resources for action. It enables traceable and refined management of processes like drug requisition, transfer, storage, dispensing, verification, distribution, and use. This ensures drugs are traceable from source to destination with accountable responsibility, meets regulatory requirements, guarantees medication supply and use safety, improves quality and efficiency, reduces operational costs, and supports hospital lean management.

In specialist outpatient visits, long waiting times for medication pickup are a key issue affecting patient experience. The smart pharmacy in the hospital's Respiratory Medicine department will allow patients to self-pick up medications by scanning their prescriptions. It enables automatic dispensing, intelligent verification, and rapid distribution of boxed, injectable, and tablet medications. The smart pharmacy equipment complies with GSP management standards, features real-time temperature and humidity monitoring, and meets specific storage requirements for common Respiratory Medicine drugs like asthma inhalers and COPD medications. Voice guidance and announcements assist throughout the pickup process, and medication instruction sheets are automatically generated upon completion to ensure safe and rational drug use. This will enhance hospital pharmacy management and service levels, further improving patient pickup experience and overall satisfaction.

Deployed in the inpatient pharmacy enable full-cycle drug management. Different storage areas and management modes are set based on drug categories like regular stock medications and narcotics/psychotropics. Management is per unit, dispensing strictly follows prescription orders using the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) principle by batch number, near-expiry items are prioritized, and expired drugs are locked. Unified remote monitoring and management achieve intelligent and informational management of the drug circulation process within the hospital.

Building a distributed ward pharmacy enables full-process monitoring from order entry, medication preparation, and administration to completion, forming a complete intelligent closed-loop management system for inpatient medication. This significantly enhances medication safety and administration efficiency. Using the ward smart pharmacy, nurses can retrieve medications according to orders with precise control over expiration dates and batch numbers, ensuring medication use safety. Automatic inventory counting and intelligent restocking plan recommendations reduce the workload for pharmacists and nurses.

With surgical procedures as the core and aiming to increase operational efficiency, it spans the entire perioperative process. It provides comprehensive control over operating room conduct standards, precise medication administration, and intelligent inventory of instruments and consumables. This improves the refined management level of narcotics and psychotropics in the OR, achieving an intelligent advancement in overall operating room safety management.

Centered around the clinical workflow of the perioperative period, an intelligent surgical planning platform is built to standardize perioperative medical practices, ensure surgical safety, reduce surgical risks, and promote the standardization of surgical procedures by enhancing visualization and operational precision, ultimately delivering better clinical outcomes for patients.

Based on Medical IoT technology and employing multi-dimensional intelligent enhancement and data-driven strategies, it builds a closed-loop for refined management of operating room supplies. This elevates drug management safety and patient medication safety levels. In accordance with national legal requirements for the "Five Specials" management of narcotics, all supply usage records, red prescriptions, and reports are intelligently and automatically generated. This ensures the safe retrieval and use of surgical supplies, their ready availability during procedures, and enables full-process, fully dynamic, informational closed-loop traceability and management for medications.

Adhering to its positioning as a "comprehensive hospital with strong specialties," Shenzhen Fourth People's Hospital (Sami Medical Center) is committed to the focused development of its neurosurgery specialty.
