Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou in Taoyuan City, Taiwan has been recently validated for Stage 7 of the new HIMSS Infrastructure Adoption Model (INFRAM) and Stage 6 of the Digital Imaging Adoption Model (DIAM).
CGMH, Linkou was able to upgrade its INFRAM validation to the highest stage. Behind this is a "major collaborative effort" across the hospital's departments, working on technology upgrades, process improvements, and staff training.Its major IT project is the transformation of the Medical Data Center. CGMH, Linkou embarked on this key project in 2021 as demand increased for IT-enabled services, necessitating the adoption of AI, big data, and precision medicine.
CGMH, Linkou also became the first hospital in Taiwan to be validated for the DIAM. It underwent the HIMSS validation to evaluate and refine its use of digital imaging technologies. Specialised medical teams played a key role in ensuring that the application of digital imaging technology effectively supported clinical decision-making and patient care. They worked with the Information Management Department to further optimise the system based on practical experience, ensuring that the digital imaging system remained stable and that integration with clinical systems met the needs of our healthcare professionals, allowing seamless connectivity through the hospital's information systems.
