Abstract

ICU is an essential location for critically ill patients to receive comprehensive diagnosis and treatment. However, the high intensity of ICU clinical work, the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment, and the poor humanistic environment require us to accelerate the pace of ICU reform. Therefore, the use of advanced technology to create an intelligent ICU department is imperative. The modern ICU is rich in electronic data and can collect a large amount of patient data during routine care, making it an ideal place to deploy intelligent digital platforms. The vast amounts of data generated by monitoring systems and electronic medical records provide fertile ground for the development of more accurate predictive models, better Clinical Decision Support System and more personalized diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, a well-designed and well-arranged ICU department will greatly enhance the patient's sense of occupancy, as well as increase the professional pride and sense of belonging. Therefore, the establishment of an intelligent ICU department is the only way for ICU to enter the fast lane of development, which will also have a profound impact on the development of ICU.

ICU是重症患者接受全方位诊疗的关键场所。然而目前ICU工作强度高、诊疗难度大、人文环境差等现实情况要求我们必须加快ICU改革步伐。因此,利用先进技术,打造智慧化ICU病房将势在必行。现代ICU环境数据丰富,在常规治疗中即可收集大量患者数据,因而使其成为可以部署智慧化数字平台的理想场所,监测系统、电子病例所获得的大量数据为开发更准确的预测模型、更好的临床决策支持系统和更个性化的诊疗提供了肥沃的土壤。同时,设计及布局良好的ICU病房将大大提升患者的入住感受,以及增加医护的职业幸福感与归属感。因此,智慧化ICU病房的建立是重症医学进入到快车道发展的必经之路,也必将对ICU的发展产生深远影响。.
