Provincial General Hospital applies digital transformation in medical examination and treatment

BHG - With the goal of becoming one of the leading hospitals in medical examination and treatment by 2030 with the highest indices in terms of digital transformation and digital economy as well as forming and developing a safe, secure, and convenient digital environment to best serve the medical examination and treatment needs of people in the province and neighbouring areas, the Ha Giang Provincial General Hospital has vigorously implemented the Government's project on “Developing applications of population data, identification and electronic authentication to serve national digital transformation in the 2022 - 2025 period, with a vision to 2030” (Project 06).

Doctors at the provincial general hospital consult remotely with the central level on difficult and complicated cases.

According to Pham Anh Van, Director of the Ha Giang Provincial General Hospital, in implementing Project 06, the hospital has thoroughly disseminated the contents and tasks of the project to each cadre, medical staff, and employee, in order to raise awareness of the need to develop applications of population data, identification and electronic authentication to serve the digital transformation work, especially the application of digital transformation in management and medical examination and treatment for people.

Currently, the provincial general hospital has applied digital transformation in all areas such as: receiving medical examination and treatment for people using citizen identification cards with chips through the VNeID application to replace health insurance cards, reaching nearly 90%; coordinating with the Social Insurance, the Department of Transport, and related units to guide people when coming to see a doctor to use CCCD cards with chips instead of health insurance cards; and updating data connectivity relating to driver's health certificates, birth certificates, and death certificates. In medical examination and treatment, patient test results are currently managed on testing software, receiving and returning test results automatically. Additionally, the hospital implements many cashless payment solutions. Every week, the hospital organises two thematic consultation sessions with central hospitals on difficult cases to assess the complexity of the case and propose active treatment methods for patients.

People pay hospital fees without cash at the provincial general hospital.

Not only is it applying digital transformation in management and medical examination and treatment for people, the Provincial General Hospital has also applied it in all areas of the unit’s work and achieved fairly comprehensive results, helping the hospital's operations become ever more professional and modern, and best serving the work of taking care of people’s health. In the coming time, the Ha Giang Provincial General Hospital will strengthen the monitoring of the implementation results of Project 06 throughout the unit, thereby proposing leadership and direction solutions that are close to the actual situation and solving the limitations and shortcomings in the implementation process.
