With the development of digitalization and the increasing demand for online after the epidemic, more and more medical and pharmaceutical companies have begun to embark on the road of digital transformation. Especially for the digital transformation of the medical industry, it is basically in the start-up stage, focusing on the management and services in medical institutions, and is committed to improving service quality, experience and efficiency. In the future, it will gradually expand to a larger scope outside the hospital, upstream and downstream, so as to realize the deep integration of the entire industry and create a more complete smart health management ecology.
However, at present, there are still some problems whether it is from infrastructure construction to later management, or from the launch of innovative services to paperless scenarios in the medium and long tail scenarios. The digital transformation of the medical industry is facing challenges. Specifically, the informatization foundation of most medical institutions has been initially formed, but the standards are not uniform, and it is difficult for various departments to share data; the number of medical staff in medical institutions far exceeds the number of technical personnel, and there is a lack of digital professionals. Insufficient transformation capabilities; the particularity of medical services leads to the fact that each department has its own business and needs, making it difficult to adopt unified standards and systems.
The emergence of low-code technology can better solve these problems. The low-code application building platform is geared towards medical personnel, has a low development threshold and convenient data access methods, and is more suitable for the digital transformation of medical institutions at the current stage. From the perspective of application scenarios, low-code is more used in digital applications in mid-to-long tail scenarios, such as smart management scenarios such as project management, personnel management, document management, and resource allocation, while innovative business scenarios such as medical intelligent service platforms and data integration, etc. Integration scenarios can also be built using low-code platforms.
Since the outbreak of the new crown, the contribution of low-code technology to the medical field has gradually become prominent. From the initial appearance of the epidemic to the sudden outbreak, many individual medical systems need to be constantly changed, updated and deployed with new functions, not only in terms of funds but also in the time and manpower it takes to update the technology. is a huge challenge.
During this period of time, low-code solutions have played an important role in accelerating the testing and release of applications. The low-code platform adopts a visual development method. Users provide reusable components, built-in templates and drag-and-drop functions through the low-code platform. , which can speed up development. These visual elements are ready to use during development with simple drag-and-drop functionality. Users can develop applications for medical data management, EHR, employee data management, employee attendance management, recruitment and other business process management very intuitively. It greatly reduces the requirements for business personnel's programming language mastery and development environment, enabling IT departments of medical institutions to provide more solutions with the same resources.
The low-code platform can also integrate data from multiple platforms to achieve interoperability between various data sources so that data can be shared between healthcare programs, third-party applications, EHR and other systems, increasing data availability and enabling users to Invoke data from multiple different data sources on one platform.
On this basis, the low-code platform can help medical institutions build data analysis and report generation systems, such as the emergency screen in the emergency center, the cockpit of the dean, and the application of the hospital's smart management system. These systems can automate the collation, analysis and display of medical data, helping medical institutions discover potential problems and optimize medical services. When the medical and health system has a large amount of data that needs to be reported to the national standard system, a large amount of manual operation was required in the past. Through the low-code development platform, a large amount of data analysis and display work that originally required manual work can be reduced. In summary, common and highly standardized applications in medical institution scenarios are suitable for implementation with low-code platforms.
The demand for business processes and data has changed from stable to changeable, which has brought great challenges to hospital informatization. In order to better realize the use of digitalization to drive business transformation, we must rely on the hospital's information department and leading business department. The subversive development model of the low-code platform has endowed the information department with stronger development capabilities, and also allowed the business department to participate more deeply in the digital process, which can help hospitals better realize digital transformation.
