2020 Future Hospital Development Forum Successfully Concludes, Exploring Accelerated Information and Intelligence Construction in Public Hospitals
From October 21 to 23, 2020, the “2020 Future Hospital Development Forum,” hosted by Nuoben Group, was successfully held in Shanghai. Leaders from health commissions at various levels, as well as directors and deputy directors of public hospitals, along with heads of departments including Information Technology, Medical Equipment, Infrastructure, and Logistics Support, gathered together. They engaged in in-depth discussions on hot topics such as the latest design concepts for green hospitals in the post-pandemic era, the creation of humanized healthcare environments, accelerating the informatization and intelligent transformation of public hospitals, enhancing infection prevention and control management as well as emergency response capabilities, and the latest developments in telemedicine and internet hospitals. The forum also provided a platform to identify optimal market partners.
The first day of the forum began with“Green Hospital Architecture”: Experts from major hospitals and architectural research institutes exchanged insights on green, healthy buildings and human-centered design.
InternationalXu Mei, Vice President of IWBI Asia at the WELL Building Institute, delivered a keynote address titled “WELL Building Standard: Reflections on Future Healthcare Spaces,” introducing how WELL ensures that actual building performance aligns with health goals through data-driven on-site testing and performance verification.
The title of the speech by Xu Zhaohui, Vice President of Shanghai East Hospital affiliated with Tongji University, is ""Research and Exploration of DIP Big Data-Based Diagnosis-Related Group Payment," he shared with the audience the principles and standards of big data-based disease grouping, as well as the application of DIP in hospital operations and management.
Green hospital buildings are healthcare facilities that, throughout their entire life cycle and while ensuring optimal medical workflows, maximize resource conservation (energy, water, land, and materials), protect the environment, and reduce pollution. They provide healthy, suitable, and efficient spaces for patients and healthcare workers, achieving harmonious coexistence with nature. Compared with developed countries worldwide, China’s hospital buildings consume more energy under comparable conditions, and their comfort levels are significantly lower than those in Europe and the United States. Promoting the development of green hospitals is not only a social responsibility but also an important approach to enhancing hospital efficiency.
At this forum, the keynote speeches delivered by Li Weidong, Dean of the Fifth Branch of Shandong Provincial Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., and Fu Jianfeng, Deputy Dean of the Medical Branch of Tianjin Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd., both centered onSharing on the “Green Hospital” Initiative.
Li Weidong stated that green hospital buildings should adopt a design strategy prioritizing passive technologies, supplemented by active technologies. Passive strategies do not rely on building equipment but achieve energy efficiency entirely through the building itself, featuring low investment and low technical complexity; their core objective is to reduce the building’s own energy demand. Active buildings refer to those that, throughout their entire lifecycle—including design, construction, and operation—prioritize human health and comfort while focusing on energy conservation and environmental protection, with the aim of promoting well-being (well-being) as its goal.
Fu Jianfeng believes that,The “Synchronous Integrated” design model can help medical buildings achieve harmonious and unified solutions. The most significant difference between the schematic design development outcomes of medical buildings designed using the “Synchronous Integrated” model and those using conventional design models is that Level 1 and Level 2 medical processes meet current needs while supporting future sustainable development; furthermore, the cost estimates are comprehensive and detailed, facilitating construction implementation.
In addition, Gong Yongjun, Deputy Director of Shanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital (Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center); Chen Weili, Deputy Director of the Medical and Education Special Design Institute under Huajian Group’s East China Urban Architectural Design and Research General Institute; and Tongji University Architectural Design and Research InstituteXu Geng, Deputy Chief Architect of the Fourth Architectural Design Institute of (Group) Co., Ltd., also shared his explorations and reflections on hospital construction design with the audience.
