'Intelligentisation' phase of hospital transformation

Updated

Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan has moved past the stage of digitising medical records to harnessing actionable insights from live data at the point of care.

The 3,000-bed hospital has recently been validated for Stage 7 of the HIMSS Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM).

"Intelligentisation" represents the next maturity level: moving from reactive data collection to proactive, data-aware clinical intervention.

In practice, it means converting raw information from our HIS and data lakes into real-time, actionable insights at the point of care.

Instead of forcing a clinician to open multiple windows to review data, a truly "intelligentised" hospital acts as a "Digital Guarding Network," running validated algorithms silently in the background to serve as an invisible teammate to our front-line medical staff.

While we have deployed more than 48 validated AI models, two specific categories have delivered the most profound impacts.

In the ICU, our AI Hemodynamic Pre-warning System analyses continuous big data to predict blood pressure instability seven hours in advance.

Coupled with our early-warning alerts for ARDS and sepsis, this system shifts our intensive care teams from crisis management to proactive, preventative intervention – effectively saving lives before complications occur.

Our AI-generated nursing progress note system can summarise an eight-hour shift's worth of clinical data into an accurate summary in just three seconds.

By automating these administrative tasks, we return valuable time-to-care to our staff and restore the human touch to the bedside.
