Global Imaging Showcases Cloud-Based Healthcare Solutions at HIMSS16 Amid IPO Filing
At 5:00 PM on February 29 (U.S. local time), the highly anticipated HIMSS16 annual conference of the health IT community opened in Las Vegas, USA. Themed “Transforming Health through IT,” this year’s conference focused on how to improve healthcare outcomes against the backdrop of global population aging and the big data era.
Creating a New Era for the IT Health Pathway
The development of healthcare IT will shape value-based healthcare services. At the opening ceremony, Sylvia Burwell, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Michael Dell, Founder and CEO of Dell, delivered keynote addresses. Sylvia Burwell outlined future goals:
Patient-Centric
Shifting Healthcare Payment Paradigms: Paying for Quality of Care, Not Volume of Services
Open Healthcare Data
Michael Dell’s remarks primarily centered on the value and risks associated with the development of IT technology. Technological innovation always carries risks; however, future advancements in medical IT will strive to refine a pathway for innovation that ensures health and safety. Our opportunities lie in:
Development and Information Integration of Medical Connected Devices
Improvement of the Doctor-Patient Relationship
Optimization of Doctor-Patient Interactive Experience
The Path of IT-Driven Healthcare Transformation: Centered on “Patients,” Enhancing Humanistic Value, and Leveraging Information Technology to Guide a Scientific, Human-Centered, and Joyful Journey Toward Healthy Development.

“Global Imaging” is here (Booth No. 10325)
“Global Imaging,” built on a comprehensive medical cloud services solution, has seen rapid growth in its domestic healthcare partnership business, continuously expanding both the geographic scope and depth of its collaborations. Currently, its partnership network covers Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, the three northeastern provinces, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet, Hubei, and other regions. Leveraging these regional partnerships, it is deeply developing internet-based healthcare operation models, including internet hospitals, online outpatient consultations (teleconsultations), and remote medical assistance.
“Global Imaging” made its debut at the HIMSS16 Conference as a “Gold Member,” not merely to enhance international exchanges, but also to lay the groundwork for expanding international cooperation and launching global business operations. At the end of 2015, Hangzhou Lianzhong Medical Technology Co., Ltd. (the corporate headquarters of “Global Imaging”) registered a branch in the United States. The branch is now operating in an orderly manner, successfully coordinated its participation in HIMSS16, and attracted numerous Chinese and foreign partners at the conference, engaging in in-depth discussions and exchanges.
In the future, once the international operations of “Global Imaging” are launched, domestic medical experts will be able to engage in exchanges and collaboration on academic and clinical matters through the “Global Imaging” platform; meanwhile, patients both in China and abroad will be able to seek effective global medical support for major health issues via “Global Imaging.”
