With the rapid development of information technology, the integration and development of “Internet+Medicine” has become a new trend. In order to further optimize the allocation of resources, innovate the service mode and improve the service efficiency, TMUCIH is responding positively to the strategic deployment and social needs recommended by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. They are formulating the development strategy of "one hospital and four districts " to distribute the future online hospital area. Our hospital has commissioned Beijing Yuanxin Science and Technology Group to build the platform for TMUCIH Internet Hospital, and develop the WeChat Mini Program of TMUCIH Internet Hospital so as to realize the functions of online consultation, follow up visits, pre-ions, nucleic acid test result inquiry, test report inquiry, among other things. The whole diagnosis and treatment process can be trackable, traceable and quantifiable. The patients visiting the Internet hospital can get online consultation, video consultation, online drug prescribing and other online diagnosis and treatment services; to support the drug delivery, self-service facilities for pharmacy and medical equipment and other ways to purchase drugs are available so as to achieve patient-doctor-hospital-pharmaceutical interconnection.
82 doctors from 5 breast cancer departments have formed the first cohort to offer online services on the TUMCIH Internet Hospital platform. This has been achieved through optimizing management, integrating resources and taking into account the characteristics of cancer diseases and the actual needs of patients. Breast cancer was picked as the first specialty to go on line because of its high incidence and high demand for follow-up visits. The online consultation can be carried out with patients by means of picture, text or video. In order to reinforce the regular prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic situation and ensure the quality of patient diagnosis and treatment, we encourage patients needing follow-up visits and patients coming from different locations to access online consultation with doctors so doing away with the need to travel to the physical hospital thus avoiding crowding of outpatients in the department and reducing on-site waiting time.
After a period of trial operation, the TMUCIH Internet Hospital will realize online consultation for all kinds of cancer diseases in our hospital, and gradually implement the services of "home health care", "patient management after hospital discharge", and "medical record delivery", so as to further enhance the patient's experience of receiving medical treatment. At the same time, the TMUCIH Internet Hospital has also planned a cooperation platform for cancer specialties. In the future, it will be possible to carry out remote diagnosis and treatment, joint outpatient services, education and training with 52 cancer hospitals across the country. The Internet Hospital will further explore new mechanisms for collaboration within specialties and collaborative development. It will play an active role in promoting the sharing of regional medical resources, standardizing the quality of cancer diagnosis and treatment, and helping the development and cooperation of oncological disciplines.
