South Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare has announced 2.5 billion won ($1.7 million) funding to launch a network of remote ICUs in regional hospitals next year.

韩国卫生福利部宣布，将于明年在地区医院启动一个远程ICU网络，资金为25亿韩元（170万美元）。

WHAT IT'S ABOUT

是关于什么的

Based on a media release, at the core of this network is an integrated control centre for monitoring the status and condition of patients in ICUs in small and medium hospitals.

根据媒体发布，该网络的核心是一个综合控制中心，用于监测中小型医院ICU患者的状态和状况。

It will feature an alarm system to rapidly detect patient deterioration or worsening conditions. The control centre will also be manned by staff around the clock, monitoring such information as patient status, bed utilisation, and abnormal symptoms.

它将配备一个报警系统，以快速检测患者病情恶化或恶化。控制中心还将由工作人员24小时值班，监测患者状态、床位利用率和异常症状等信息。

The control centre will also enable collaboration among hospitals when necessary, the MOHW shared.

卫生部表示，控制中心还将在必要时实现医院之间的协作。

Two regions and their medical hospitals will be initially chosen to set up a remote ICU next year; the ICUs are expected to become operational by 2026.

明年将初步选择两个地区及其医疗医院建立远程ICU；ICU预计将于2026年投入使用。

WHY IT MATTERS

为什么重要

MOHW is launching the e-ICU project as part of solutions to address the lack of healthcare resources and infrastructure in regional medical institutions. It will also resolve issues in operating ICUs in regional hospitals, bolstering their capability to treat critically ill patients.

卫生部正在启动电子ICU项目，作为解决地区医疗机构缺乏医疗资源和基础设施的解决方案的一部分。它还将解决地区医院ICU的运营问题，增强其治疗危重病人的能力。

Over the past decade, ICU bed rates per 100,000 adults in South Korea increased, according to a local study.

根据当地的一项研究，在过去十年中，韩国每10万成年人的ICU床位率有所上升。

Another study also noted regional disparities in the number of ICU beds and length of stay from 2011 to 2019: two regions, Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, accounted for almost half of the country's total ICU beds and length of stay, which suggested centralisation of the health system, according to researchers.

另一项研究还指出，2011年至2019年，ICU病床数量和住院时间存在地区差异：首尔和京畿道两个地区几乎占全国ICU病床总数和住院时间的一半，这表明卫生系统的集中化，研究人员表示。

They also projected that ICU bed occupancy could double by 2030. .

他们还预测，到2030年，ICU病床占用率可能会翻一番。

THE LARGER TREND

更大的趋势

Besides the ICU, South Korea also focuses on relieving pressures in overwhelmed emergency departments. In May, the MOHW announced a $17 million project to develop an AI-driven clinical decision support system for EDs. The ministry has involved major hospitals such as Samsung Medical Center and Asan Medical Center in this five-year project..

除了重症监护病房，韩国还专注于缓解不堪重负的急诊部门的压力。5月，卫生部宣布了一个耗资1700万美元的项目，为急诊室开发人工智能驱动的临床决策支持系统。卫生部已将三星医疗中心和亚山医疗中心等大型医院纳入这一为期五年的项目。。

Two more AI-based emergency systems are part of projects recently announced under the Korean Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health – one is a regional emergency system for patient classification and transfer and the other is a centralised real-time critical patient transfer management system. .

韩国卫生高级研究计划署（Korean Advanced Research projects Agency for Health）最近宣布了另外两个基于人工智能的紧急系统，一个是用于患者分类和转移的区域紧急系统，另一个是集中式实时重症患者转移管理系统。。

ON THE RECORD

记录在案

'Actively utilising Korea’s world-class ICT technology to promote information exchange between hospitals will be an effective solution to address the lack of regional medical personnel and infrastructure,' Koh Hyung-Woo, director of MOHW Advanced Medical Support commented.

卫生部高级医疗支持主任Koh Hyung-Woo评论道：“积极利用韩国世界一流的ICT技术促进医院之间的信息交流，将是解决地区医疗人员和基础设施缺乏的有效解决方案。”。
