In the medical reform, hospital informatization, digital construction and transformation are the key points. The application of the hospital all-in-one card satisfies the various needs of employees, patients, relatives of patients and other visitors, while simplifying the daily management of the hospital, effectively improving the service level of the hospital and avoiding possible risks.

Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital is located on the banks of the Xiangjiang River. After nearly a hundred years of ups and downs, the hospital has now developed into a comprehensive Class 3 A hospital integrating medical treatment, teaching, scientific research, preventive health care and community services. The hospital’s original construction area is 80,000 square meters, and the newly completed medical emergency surgery building has a construction area of ​​about 124,000 square meters. It currently has 1,580 beds. After the new building is put into use in early 2011, the number of beds in the future will reach 2,100, and it will have a first-class Medical, teaching and scientific research environment.

Digitization and informatization are inevitable requirements for the modern development of the hospital. In traditional hospital management, patient information is managed through ID numbers. However, in practical applications, a patient often has multiple ID numbers, which makes the hospital The inability to archive and aggregate patient medical records, medical treatment information, and cost information is also not conducive to patients’ inquiries about information. Especially after the new “Regulations on the Handling of Medical Malpractices” are issued, hospitals are required to implement “inversion of evidence”, which is even more detrimental to hospitals. Legal protection of itself. Therefore, hospitals can provide patients with convenient, fast, and high-quality services, and provide a variety of different information inquiries are effective means for hospitals to enhance their competitiveness.

The hospital smart card management system not only meets the needs of modern information management in the hospital, but also meets the various needs of employees, patients, patient relatives and other visitors. Its electronic management function module enables the hospital to realize electronic management, improve work efficiency, and strengthen hospital management ; Its electronic authentication function will enable everyone to enjoy the convenience of “one card in hand, access to the whole hospital”, which is also the trend of modern information digital hospitals.

“Hospital One Card” Card Selection

All-in-one card technology involves various aspects, such as network technology, communication technology, database technology, automation control technology, etc., but its core is still IC card technology and reading and writing equipment. It can be said that IC cards and reading and writing equipment are the supporting points of all-in-one card technology. Smart cards are cards issued by hospitals with functions of hospital affairs management. The card is issued to all employees, patients, relatives of patients and other visitors.

Smart card is a kind of non-contact IC chip PVC card, the chip can be read and written. Since it is the same size as a traditional bank card, and the non-contact IC chip is encapsulated inside the PVC, the existence of the IC chip cannot be distinguished from the appearance. In addition to the pre-printed information of the issuing unit, the card is also printed with the employee’s photo, serial number, card number, name and department name and other personal information of the cardholder when the card is issued. Therefore, the smart card can be used as an identity certificate in the hospital.
