On January 8, 2022, MDC and Advantech Vietnam have established a strategic partners to implement the “iHospital” project applying digital transformation on the largest scale to date to build Vietnam’s very first smart hospital in Ninh Thuan For this project, MDC will take on a system design role in providing iHospital solutions that integrate smart medical devices that have been customized to meet actual usage needs. With the vision of developing Thai Hoa General Hospital into the leading smart hospital in Vietnam and the region, the high-tech solution packages are specially designed by MDC and Advantech to support doctors and medical staff in optimising medical examination and treatment efficiency, increasing patient satisfaction during treatment, marking a breakthrough for healthcare and elevating patient experience.

The aim of this project is to improve patient satisfaction during treatment, and it marks a breakthrough for healthcare in the country. To ensure compliance with regulations set by the Vietnam Ministry of Health in 2017 (Circular No. 54/2017/TT-BYT) and 2018 (Circular 46/2018/TT-BYT), MDC has coordinated with several domestic software development partners to ensure that system operations and patient medical records from smart devices will be digitalized on a centralized platform. This will simplify access and sharing with the highest level of information security.

With extensive experience in successfully developing smart hospital models, MDC and Advantech realizes the remarkable value that this project can bring to users. As such, plans have been set in motion to further implement smart technology applications in medicine in order to make them more prevalent and universal, which will help streamline medical processes while mitigating overall risk and improving healthcare efficiency. At Thai Hoa iHospital, patients are able to experience the smartest services available from the moment they step foot inside the hospital. This includes bedside examination solutions (AMiS), intelligent surgery room systems (AVAS), and high-end smart inpatient solutions (iWard), all of which have been designed by Advantech with a focus on patient care.

Additionally, solutions for remote medical examination and treatment (iTeleMed) and a pharmacy management system (iMedication) have also been built and integrated by MDC and Advantech with the aim of ensuring that historical data can be easily accessed during group and individual consultations. This also means that a patient’s medication history can be monitored seamlessly and accurately. The iHospital solution also allows patients to simply use a smart card to access all services that have been integrated on the centralized platform.

With services predicted to officially commence in June of 2022, Thai Hoa iHospital becoming Vietnam’s first smart hospital promises to be significantly beneficial to the people of Ninh Thuan and its neighboring provinces. This breakthrough in the digital transformation of Vietnam’s healthcare sector is particularly pertinent amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it a significant contribution to the interests of the country and the region in general.
