Danzhou Rong Media Center NewsDecember 30th, 2020 is a landmark day in the development history of Hainan Western Central Hospital. On this day, Hainan Western Central Hospital was unveiled and officially upgraded to a third-class first-class general hospital.
For a time, every medical worker’s face was filled with a happy smile in the outpatient department and ward of the hospital.
Three-level A-level general hospitals (hereinafter referred to as "3A" hospitals) are the highest level of hospitals in China, and they are also the most valuable brands and business cards of hospitals. In order to create a "top three" hospital, in recent years, Qi Xin, all the cadres and workers of Hainan Western Central Hospital, worked together to make progress, and stepped out of a leap-forward development road with the pace of stepping on the stone and leaving a seal, constantly filling the gaps in medical technology services in Qiongxi area and even the whole province with superb technology, creating a harmonious and excellent medical environment for the majority of patients, providing convenient and high-quality medical services, and winning wide praise from patients.
The successful establishment of "top three" hospitals has not only fulfilled the dreams of several generations of Hainan Western Central Hospital, but also set a new milestone in the history of hospital development, adding a lot of color to the development of Danzhou’s medical and health undertakings.
Create a "top three" dream and set sail
It is the strategic layout of the provincial party committee and government to build five regional medical centers "East, West, North and South" and build a "one-hour three-level medical circle" in the province. In recent years, Hainan Western Central Hospital has focused on the goal of building a regional medical center in western Hainan and actively promoted the development of health care.
Hainan Western Central Hospital has gone through a history of 130 years, and its predecessor was the Great Evangelical Hospital founded by the American Christian Church in 1890. In June, 2009, Hainan Western Central Hospital, with Danzhou First People’s Hospital as its team, broke ground. In June 2014, the first phase of the hospital project was officially put into use. Since then, Hainan Western Central Hospital, like a bright star, has risen in Ran Ran, a promising land in western Hainan, and has made great efforts to become the first third-class first-class hospital and regional medical center in western Hainan integrating medical treatment, teaching and scientific research, covering Danzhou, Lingao, Baisha, Changjiang, Dongfang, Qiongzhong and Yangpu Economic Development Zone.
As we all know, the "top three" hospitals in China are gathering places of cutting-edge technical talents and high-level medical and health service institutions in the country. The establishment of "top three" hospitals is related to the hospital’s honor, industry status and future development, and it is also the only way to ensure the eternal foundation of this century-old hospital.
Creating the "top three" must be successful, and there is no room for falsehood and slack. Ever since the goal of creating a "top three" hospital was put forward, Hainan Western Central Hospital has been determined to cross the rubicon and last stand, mobilizing all forces, pouring manpower, material resources and financial resources, creating conditions, overcoming all difficulties, giving the green light to and serving the creation work, so as to promote connotation construction, enhance comprehensive competitiveness, enhance social image and better benefit the citizens.
Introduce advanced management experience
Can an ordinary hospital quickly improve its medical technology and management level and grow into a high-level hospital in a short period of time? Innovating ideas, increasing investment and introducing high-quality medical resources … In 2017, Danzhou signed a contract with Shanghai No.9 Hospital under the promotion of the provincial government, and Danzhou entrusted Shanghai No.9 Hospital with full authority to conduct comprehensive management of Hainan Western Central Hospital. Since then, Hainan Western Central Hospital has entered the fast lane of leap-forward development.
Since the comprehensive trusteeship, the expert team of Shanghai No.9 Hospital has brought advanced hospital management experience and top medical technology support, which has provided a strong impetus for the development of Hainan Western Central Hospital and laid a solid foundation for the hospital to create "top three" work, and the whole hospital has devoted itself to creating "top three" work.
In order to better promote advanced management concepts and coordinate personnel, the management team stationed in Shanghai No.9 Hospital directly manages Hainan Western Central Hospital. In terms of personnel appointment and dismissal, we have avoided localized human interests and adhered to an open, fair and just management system. In the past three years, we have selected 13 senior experts from Shanghai No.9 Hospital to be the directors of clinical medical technology departments, adjusted and enriched the directors and deputy directors of clinical medical technology departments, openly competed for 26 functional department leaders and 15 head nurses, and strictly controlled the number of posts of logistics and administrative personnel, which eliminated the bad phenomena in the management team and greatly improved everyone’s enthusiasm.
With the help of Shanghai No.9 Hospital, Hainan Western Central Hospital aims to establish a "top three" hospital, establish and improve the working mechanism and system related to hospital internal management, further improve the service process, and provide various forms of appointment diagnosis and treatment, self-service facilities, one-stop discharge settlement and volunteer service, so as to shorten the time for patients to see a doctor and improve patient satisfaction.
Improve the level of medical technology
The core content of hospital development is the improvement of medical technology. With the continuous improvement of urban development and economic and social level, Danzhou’s medical and health service system has been improved day by day, and the medical level has been steadily improved. However, many patients with major diseases still need to go to Haikou, Guangzhou, Shanghai and other places to seek medical advice every year. The problem of "difficulty in seeing a doctor" is still like a curse, which has been hampering the development of medical undertakings in Danzhou and even cities and counties in western Hainan.
Sharing high-quality medical resources in Shanghai. After the team of experts from Shanghai Ninth Hospital was stationed, the new medical technology from Shanghai Ninth Hospital and even China quickly landed in Hainan Western Central Hospital. Many major operations that could not be done before can now be done, which not only facilitates the people to seek medical treatment, but also reduces the burden of seeing a doctor, truly making the people realize their desire to cure diseases and see serious illnesses without going out of Danzhou, and effectively enhancing their sense of access to medical services.
"In the past, such surgery could only be done in hospitals in Haikou or Guangzhou, but now it can be done in the city." Mr. Xu, who suffered from ischemic stroke, sighed sincerely after receiving treatment in Hainan Western Central Hospital.
Nowadays, with the help of Shanghai Ninth Hospital, the medical technology and service level of Hainan Western Central Hospital have been continuously improved, and the status of Hainan Western Regional Medical Center has become increasingly prominent. More than 130 new technologies, such as minimally invasive removal of uterine cancer, removal of giant brain tumor, and vertebral compression fracture plasty, have been carried out one after another, successfully filling the medical gap in Qiongxi area and even Hainan, alleviating the problem of "it is difficult to see a doctor" to some extent, especially relieving many patients with difficult diseases or serious illnesses from going to Haikou and Guangzhou.
According to statistics, the number of patients with major diseases in Danzhou staying in the local treatment has increased significantly, and the number of patients with major diseases in neighboring cities and counties has increased significantly. Statistics show that the number of outpatient and emergency visits in Hainan Western Central Hospital alone increased from 317,000 in 2016 to 510,000 in 2019; The number of seriously ill patients hospitalized outside the city also increased from 2,800 in 2016 to 4,789 in 2019.
Cultivate excellent medical talents
Through the academic leadership of Shanghai Ninth Hospital and the assistance of "True Classics", Hainan Western Central Hospital has trained a number of outstanding medical talents, and emerging disciplines are full of vitality, and some weak disciplines are gradually becoming better and stronger.
Zhen Chen is a young doctor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Hainan Western Central Hospital. He is only 34 years old this year, but he has grown into a surgeon in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, and won the first place in Hainan Gynecological Endoscopy Skills Competition in 2019 and 2020.
"Many of my college classmates haven’t even touched the scalpel so far, and now I am doing more than 20 laparoscopic minimally invasive operations every month." Zhen Chen said that he could not have today’s technology without the mentoring of Ren Qing, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology stationed in Hainan Western Central Hospital by Shanghai No.9 Hospital.
Before 2017, the department of obstetrics and gynecology in Hainan Western Central Hospital was mainly obstetrics, with less than 5% gynecological patients and operations, less than 200 operations a year, and even fewer third-and fourth-grade operations. Under the leadership of Ren Qing, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology and chief physician of Shanghai No.9 Hospital, the hospital focused on the development of gynecology and standardized the development of obstetrics, successively built obstetrics and gynecology into provincial key clinical specialties, and set up a provincial rescue center for high-risk pregnant women, which significantly reduced the maternal mortality and neonatal mortality. Nowadays, the gynecological technology in this department has gradually matured and reached the advanced level in the province.
At the same time, Hainan Western Central Hospital directly introduced Shanghai’s first-class medical resources in China by means of cooperation. In the past three years, the hospital has continuously expanded clinical departments to meet patients’ medical needs, and successively set up orthopedic surgery, urology, general medicine, Chinese medicine, thoracic surgery, clinical nutrition, and re-integrated pain department and rehabilitation medicine department. The clinical medical department has expanded from 32 to 37 at present, and 10 disciplines such as infection department have become provincial-level clinical key specialties, and 6 provincial-level diagnosis and treatment centers and 4 municipal-level diagnosis and treatment centers have been built.
Remain true to our original aspiration and keep our mission firmly in mind. Over the years, Hainan Western Central Hospital has adhered to the principle of "promoting construction by evaluation, promoting reform by evaluation, emphasizing both evaluation and construction, and focusing on connotation", and has done a lot of fruitful work around strengthening hospital connotation construction, improving medical quality and service level, and ensuring patient safety.
On December 30, 2020, with the listing of Hainan Western Central Hospital as the "top three", it marked that Danzhou added another "top three" hospital after the listing of the "top three" hospital by the Municipal People’s Hospital.
Xiongguan Man Road is as iron as iron, but now it’s a step from the beginning. New starting point, new journey; New responsibilities, new actions. "In the future, the hospital will further strengthen the connotation construction of the hospital, improve the allocation of major disciplines, continuously improve the level of medical technology and service capabilities, and formulate the development plan of the hospital during the 14 th Five-Year Plan in combination with the third phase of the hospital construction, so as to become a well-known university teaching and research base in China. Efforts will be made to turn the hospital into a provincial-level regional medical center that integrates medicine, teaching, research and rehabilitation, and radiates 3 million people in western Hainan and surrounding areas. " Zhang Shaoming, executive director of Hainan Western Central Hospital, said. (Fu Wuyue, an all-media reporter of Danzhou Rong Media, and Fu Lingji, an editor.)
