3. Information System Construction
Each ward was equipped with a central real-time monitoring system that displayed the vital signs of all patients on the monitoring screens in the nurses’ workstation and the medical station in the semi-contaminated area. In each of the three zones, physician information stations and nurse information stations were equipped with four computers. They were used for document writing and prescribing medical orders. A certain number of walkie-talkies were provided to each of the three areas for calls and communication between staff. Each of the three districts was equipped with a smart phone that could save and transmit documents, recording and images. Additionally, we authorized all medical staff, including out-of-province medical staff who came to support Wuhan, to use open authority management, and reformat various document templates and doctor order templates to ensure consistency.
