Huawei's High Quality Hospital Network Helps the High Quality Development of Wuhan University People's Hospital

Wuhan University People's Hospital, in collaboration with Huawei, is building smart services for patients, smart healthcare for clinical use, and smart management for medical staff. We aim to improve the level of information management and application, enhance the efficiency and quality of outpatient work, and better promote the development of Wuhan University People's Hospital, providing safe, effective, and convenient high-quality medical and health services for the people.

A hundred year journey, treating the heart for the people. Wuhan University People's Hospital, also known as Hubei Provincial People's Hospital, is the first clinical college of Wuhan University. It was founded by Dr. Chen Yucang in 1923 and has a history of one hundred years.

Wuhan University People's Hospital has multiple campuses such as Shouyi, Guanggu, and Hongshan, with 127 medical technology departments covering modern clinical medicine, ranking among the top in the country. Medical services radiate nationwide and even overseas. In 2021, the outpatient volume of the hospital was 5.8 million, ranking 8th in the country, with 5238 open beds, ranking 10th in the country. The number of heart, kidney, and lung transplants ranks 4th, 2nd, and 7th in the country, respectively.

In 2018, Wuhan University People's Hospital and the Hongshan District Government of Wuhan jointly launched the construction of the Hongshan Campus. The Hongshan Campus was established according to the third level A construction standard, covering modern medical, scientific research, teaching, preventive healthcare and other functions. The campus covers an area of approximately 128 acres, with a total construction area of nearly 270000 square meters. It is designed with 1000 beds and 3000 parking spaces. The Hongshan Campus, the main campus of Wuhan University People's Hospital, and the Optics Valley Campus implement overall layout and integrated management to achieve homogeneous development.

Network construction is the framework of hospital informatization construction. The construction of Hongshan Hospital fully considers the progressiveness and innovation of the new hospital network, integrates the most advanced emerging technology in the industry, ensures that the scheme is not backward for at least 10 years, and achieves the construction effect of mobility, digitization, intelligence, standardization, paperless, specialization, closed-loop, and collaboration.

Professional wireless network planning tool simulation to ensure the effectiveness of wireless construction:

At the initial stage of construction of Hongshan Hospital, through advanced network planning, the progressiveness and practicability of network construction are ensured, and the quality and scalability of the entire informatization construction are improved. The campus adopts Huawei WLAN Planner tool, which automatically identifies walls and obstacles based on construction drawings. At the same time, according to the network coverage requirements in the area, it automatically plans AP positions and channels through built-in AI algorithms, simulates the wireless network effect after implementation, customizes terminal walking routes, and intuitively experiences roaming effects. Finally, it exports a wireless network planning report, successfully guiding on-site construction, Reduced the workload of rework and network optimization during wireless network deployment.

Hospital network physical isolation ensures absolute business security:

The entire network of Hongshan Campus is divided into wired internal network, wired external network, wireless internal network, wireless external network, and equipment network. To ensure the absolute security of hospital internal and external network information, especially for the security protection of core businesses such as internal network billing system and case system, the hospital has created two completely physically isolated internal and external networks, equipped with independent operation and maintenance management systems for management. Both internal and external networks use the Huawei frame switch CloudEngine S12700 as the core forwarding to meet the bandwidth forwarding needs of various businesses.

Wi Fi 6 continuous coverage for building future evolving wireless networks:

The Hongshan campus adopts Huawei AirEngine 5760 series equipment. This device supports industry-leading dual band smart antennas with a coverage radius of up to 30%, creating a Wi Fi 6 continuous coverage wireless network. At the same time, the dual transmitter and receiver technology, combined with terminal differentiated roaming guidance capabilities, achieves terminal roaming without disconnection, and also improves terminal roaming speed by 30%. This wireless network system can also directly evolve towards the Internet of Things in the future. By integrating IoT modules through wireless access, a set of IoT applications such as WLAN, RFID, ZigBee, and Bluetooth can be included in a network, avoiding duplicate investment in construction. By building a medical IoT infrastructure platform, clinical efficiency, medical quality, and operational management level can be effectively improved, achieving the goal of hospital management standardization, refinement, and precision.

Comprehensive protection of hospital network to ensure secure internet access:

In external networks with high security risks, Huawei is equipped with the AI 10 Gigabit Firewall HiSecEngine USG6620E, which achieves six dimensional fine control based on application, content, time, user, threat, and location. Huawei's export firewall can recognize over 6000 applications, and only applications that are needed for business are allowed, ensuring that doctors and patients can access the internet normally while also preventing attacks and information theft caused by accessing phishing websites.

Under the promotion of the deep integration of new generation information technology and medical services, Wuhan University People's Hospital will work together with Huawei to gradually promote the strategic goal of building a smart hospital. It will build smart services for patients, smart healthcare for clinical use, and smart management for medical care, improve the level of information management and application, improve the efficiency and quality of outpatient work, and better promote the development of Wuhan University People's Hospital, providing safety and safety for the people Effective and convenient high-quality medical and health services.
