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.
