business background
Before 2000, China's medical informatization construction had begun, but most of them were financial accounting systems, with charging as the core function; from 2000 to 2010, with the gradual improvement of big data technology, medical big data also developed, and medical informatization ushered in Outbreak period; starting in 2010, the country has continuously issued relevant policies on smart hospitals, starting from the basic specifications of electronic medical records, and making an all-round layout for the construction of smart hospitals.
Challenges faced by informatization in the medical industry
Architecture is unresponsive
New businesses are emerging one after another, the IT architecture is slow to respond, architecture adjustment is difficult, multi-brand storage is difficult to operate and maintain, and unified management and scheduling are impossible. The HIS system has high requirements for performance and reliability. The PACS system has a large increase in image data. At the same time, each business data requires an effective backup method, so different business systems have different requirements for back-end storage.
Compliance
The government has increasingly higher guidance and requirements on the preservation and utilization of medical data. The National Health Commission pointed out that by 2020, all localities should strive to achieve an electronic health record for every resident. The "Implementing Rules for the Management of Medical Institutions" stipulates that the retention period of outpatient medical records of medical institutions shall not be less than fifteen years, and the retention period of inpatient medical records shall not be less than thirty years. From the perspective of scientific research and long-term care of patient groups, the ideal retention period for medical file information is "long-term preservation."
Complex management
Proprietary hardware brands are tied up, equipment selection is limited, the environment is heterogeneous, and data management is complex, making it impossible to efficiently support the storage needs of new businesses.
Advantages of solutions for the medical industry
Leverage a hybrid multi-cloud data platform to support data analytics across business systems
The hybrid multi-cloud data platform provides persistence and data fusion for unstructured data such as PACS images of medical institutions, and supports high-performance storage and archiving of massive data at reasonable costs and horizontal scalability, unified data management shared by the whole hospital, and artificial intelligence in smart hospitals. For application, regional imaging cloud and other related needs, the hybrid multi-cloud data platform also supports the unified fusion of data, data integration, data services and data management, as well as future cross-business system data correlation analysis and big data-assisted decision-making analysis.
Hyperconverged infrastructure simplifies hospital data centers
The hybrid multi-cloud data platform hyper-converged infrastructure has unified technology and management integrating computing, network, storage, server virtualization, containers, etc. in a unified device. Computing resources and storage resource nodes can be smoothly expanded horizontally and support separated hyper-converged expansion. , when the growth of computing and storage resources is balanced, hyper-converged nodes can be directly expanded. At the same time, when the growth of computing and storage resources is unbalanced (for example, a system has high requirements for computing or storage resources and is intensive), the architecture will finally be clear. , manage unified software-defined data center.
All-flash array meets hospital high-performance business scenario requirements
The all-flash array can meet the needs of high performance requirements and provides distributed NVMe all-flash memory; cluster management, ALL in one unified interface; provides a variety of storage protocols and network interfaces, such as iSCSI/NFS/RBD, 10Gbps/25Gbps/ 40Gbps etc.
Adapt to the data needs of hospitals in all scenarios
Utilize the hybrid multi-cloud data platform to provide a platform to provide block, file, object, HDFS and other fully integrated storage service capabilities on demand to meet business needs in all scenarios; for unified storage of structured data, semi-structured data and unstructured data, Unify metadata and simplify management; separate computing and storage, each scaling on demand; adapt to emerging scenarios such as multi-cloud and edge, and provide multiple protocol interfaces to adapt to the full-scenario data management and processing requirements of medical institutions.
High data availability
Utilize the hybrid multi-cloud data platform to meet the full-scenario high availability requirements of active-active storage, zero business switching, and zero data loss. It has rich enterprise-level features to meet the requirements of business continuity, data protection, and storage resource utilization improvement; it provides extended cluster functions. , realizes active-active storage across sites, and can be smoothly upgraded to a three-center solution in two places.
