Zhang Yihao pointed out that with the prominent role of county hospitals in primary medical care, issues such as talent training began to surface. The essential.
Zhang Yihao believes that the essence of digital technology and digital application is to promote the sinking of high-quality resources and serve patients more efficiently. The construction of digital facilities in county-level medical institutions in my country is continuing to accelerate. Hospitals at all levels have put forward higher requirements for the functional value and clinical value of digital equipment, focusing on accurate diagnosis and improving the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment based on medical equipment, and put forward the goal of quality control. The demand for the homogenization of diagnosis and treatment, as well as the cost reduction and efficiency increase for the operation and management of medical assets. “In order to meet the needs of primary medical care, GE Healthcare has continued to make efforts in digital services and model innovation for county-level development. By sinking high-quality resources, it has opened up the ‘last mile’ of county-level medical development.”
Talents are a long-term challenge for primary healthcare. Whether the radiological and pathological images of primary medical institutions can meet the needs of homogeneous diagnosis depends on the technical level and standardization of imaging technicians. Zhang Yihao proposed that the full integration of digital technology and equipment can accelerate the development of grassroots talents. In addition to hardware and software, because the talents in the medical industry have the characteristics of long training cycle and instability, relying on the existing talent training mechanism cannot fully meet the rapidly growing grassroots medical needs, the government, enterprises and associations should work together Continue to promote “talent training”.
Zhang Yihao also introduced that over the years, GE Healthcare has fully integrated its advantageous resources, and has cooperated with the government and industry associations to carry out a series of multi-level and multi-dimensional trainings for grassroots clinicians, department directors and hospital management.
