In recent years, health care reform has made great development. But with the increasing aging population, the total lack of domestic medical resources, uneven distribution and other issues become increasingly prominent, the urgent need to accelerate the construction of information, to further improve the overall health care system. The next few years, the medical industry will change in the development stage. This article is to analyze trends and challenges in medical information technology, medical and explore private cloud, PACS image storage solution is based on a distributed architecture, to provide more ideas for the medical industry information Practice Transition.
1, medical information systems and information technology trends
Medical hospital information systems as essential infrastructure and technical environment, supporting the hospital's daily management operations. Combined with operational characteristics, hospital information systems can be divided into three categories.
First, the business platform system, including the general hospital information system (HIS), clinical information systems (CIS), Radiology Information System (RIS), Laboratory Information Management System (LIS), picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), electronic medical records (EMR), customer management system (CRM), hospital operations management system (HRP), etc., each subsystem assume different business modules together to protect the hospital's normal operations.
Second, operations management system (ERP), the main bearer of financial management, human resources management and other business modules, and HIS systems will be docking to integrate resources. Which accounts for about 70% of the structured data, documents, pictures and other unstructured data of about 30%.
Third, regional medical system, which is an inter-agency data sharing medical information integration foundation and carriers, including Medicare carrier interoperability, telemedicine and other interactive services.
Internet age, the sudden emergence of new channels such as online inquiry, business systems are also changing. Next few years, the medical industry will remain at the stage of change, mainly reflected in: improve the medical service system, strengthen the construction of primary health care; optimize the overall architecture design, deepen the internal business integration; priority to the protection of their business, promote the comprehensive integrated building; establishment of a comprehensive regulatory system , leveraging IT to strengthen regulatory measures.
2, difficulties and challenges faced by medical information
With each hospital internal business systems integration, infrastructure and storage management capabilities put a higher demand, on behalf of hospital-medical institutions still face many difficulties and challenges in information technology practice transformation.
Data storage challenges
With the overall size of the medical institutions continues to expand, the amount of data generated each day presents its massive growth, which gives the back-end storage system has brought great challenges.
1) "Compliance Requirements" make storage more stringent, part of the data required to save 15--30 years, the existing lack of persistent storage, large capacity, easy to maintain media
2) medical data fast growth, body mass, the annual increment of up to one hundred million files, traditional storage powerless massive scale in terms of support
3) Traditional backup low efficiency, high cost, it will affect business continuity, operation and maintenance costs are high
4) overall architecture scalability is poor, the cost, high in the traditional architecture planning difficulty, space utilization is low, the cost of consuming large
Data Access storm
The aging population continues to rise the number of hospital admissions, followed by the addition of expanded storage capacity, how to ensure efficient data access is another problem faced by medical institutions.
1) traditional storage low in the scale of the massive file access efficiency, can not meet the needs of near-real time
2) a more diverse image data access requirements, such as quick view images, move the viewing reports, etc.
3) Regional Medical, remote consultation and other new scenarios for data access bandwidth and performance put forward higher requirements
Using the data value
Mobile interpretation, disease forecasting, analysis and other assistance needs to be analysis of large data mining and value-based storage platform. Lack of awareness of traditional storage content, not the depth of interaction with the application, the data values can not be released.
Faced with these challenges, traditional architecture can not meet the demand. With a wide range of software-defined storage applications, medical information technology will usher in yet another storage infrastructure upgrade.
3, PACS image storage solutions based on distributed architecture
Increase the volume of business of the hospital PACS rapid data growth, how to efficiently store massive amounts of PACS data is needed to solve the problem. Some medical institutions still using the traditional NAS devices to store and manage the PACS data, along with the number of files increase, NAS storage is limited by the performance bottleneck, unable to meet the storage needs of today's massive unstructured data, the need for a new storage scheme meet application and development.
Cedar Rock PACS image storage solution uses a fully distributed, decentralized storage software-defined architecture, massive object storage system (SandStone MOS) based automated support life cycle management, create intelligent storage solutions to help customers achieve a one-stop , PACS management and application of intelligent, value-oriented.
1) uniform shared pool of resources, facilitate the sharing of image data interchange
2) elastic expansion flexibility to easily support ten billion files are stored
3) demand deployment, without excessive planning, saving construction costs
4) resolve performance bottlenecks, and more efficient to deal with concurrent access
5) automation lifecycle management, automatic data migration archive
6) After the integration of AI processing framework, dig data value
4, medical private cloud solution based on a distributed architecture
Medical industry software systems and more decentralized, high proportion of unstructured data, computing and storage operation and maintenance of pressure, computing and storage resource virtualization and consolidation can simplify management, reduce floor space occupied, enhance the comprehensive management.
Cedar Rock Medical private cloud solutions combined with distributed storage and integration of the two super-technology, help healthcare organizations implement and manage innovative architecture empowerment.
1) at low cost and high performance backup storage requirements
2) large-scale cluster unified management, operation and maintenance personnel to reduce the pressure
3) unified storage solutions support the construction of integrated information platform
4) The integration value through the data mining process frame AI
5) integration architecture to help achieve super-intelligent, easy to use management
6) equipment to seamlessly expand, easy to deal with the growing size of data
7) out of the box, easily deployed business line time shortening
8) cost-effective and help build future-ready infrastructure
5, cedar rock healthcare solutions enhance customer benefits
Based on software-defined storage solutions will undoubtedly bring a better alternative to the medical information technology to help customers improve overall efficiency. Its value lies in the following aspects.
Safe and reliable mass storage
Based on a distributed architecture, supporting ten billion files easily scale; elastic expansion, capacity and performance linear growth; by copy, erasure and other strategies to improve data reliability; built-in backup function, high efficiency and low cost backup.
Efficient and agile data access
Each node while providing computing and storage resources to meet millisecond response massive file access; hashing algorithm using dynamic consistency, support stable operation under one hundred million scale image file.
Full-featured automated management
1) automated lifecycle management, reducing overall construction costs.
2) support image retrieval smart labels, provide support for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
