Schneider Electric: Help the hospital logistics high-quality development, full speed towards the smart future

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, high-quality development has become the core requirement of hospital development, China's hospital construction has entered a new stage of development, smart hospital construction and hospital information standardization construction will be vigorously developed, and the government has also put forward higher requirements for the operation and development of modern hospitals. At the same time, as an important people's livelihood project carrying people's health and life safety, hospital buildings require uninterrupted operation throughout the year, energy consumption far exceeds that of general public buildings, and carbon reduction space is promising.

Recently, during the 22nd National Hospital Construction Conference and the International Hospital Construction, Equipment and Management Exhibition (CHCC 2021), Liu An, head of Schneider Electric's medical industry, as a dialogue guest, conducted in-depth exchanges and collisions of views with Shen Chongde, vice president of Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, and Zhang Yubin, director of the Infrastructure Department of Jiangsu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital, on the topic of "'double carbon' goal and high-quality logistics development".

Industry experts exchanged and shared around the "double carbon" goal and the topic of high-quality logistics development

The introduction of technology, the optimization of operations, and the construction of talents are indispensable

Zhang Yubin, director of the Infrastructure Construction Department of Jiangsu Maternal and Child Health Hospital, shared: "As the foundation and guarantee for the normal operation of the hospital, the level of hospital logistics construction and management directly determines the level of hospital management, affects the overall management efficiency and management efficiency of the hospital, and also affects the medical quality of the hospital. If the hospital wants to develop high-quality, logistics needs to go first, and constantly strengthen system innovation, technological innovation, model innovation and management innovation. In addition, energy-efficient infrastructure is ahead of logistics. In the design stage, it is necessary to optimize the integration, fully consider the energy consumption system, rather than swallowing dates, and cannot just stay at the level of meeting the usability. If it is transformed in the later stage, it will cause huge waste to the entire industrial chain, and this is what 'double carbon' needs to pay attention to. ”

Shen Chongde, vice president of Wuxi People's Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, said: "The connotation of 'double carbon' goals has two meanings, one is 'carbon' itself, and the other is the topic of high-quality development behind 'double carbon', carbon neutrality, carbon peaking and high-quality development are closely linked. To achieve high-quality development, we must change the industrial structure, have the concept of sustainable development, and have a high-quality, high-quality, and lean development model that enhances the entire social and economic operation and production mode. First of all, there must be a renewal of the concept, followed by the introduction of advanced technology, and the third is to adjust the conventional operation mode, and to follow up on high-quality development in terms of teams and talents. Let energy conservation become a responsibility, a charity, and a fashion. When it comes to Schneider Electric, it makes us think of 'safety, reliability, stability and quality', which is the most basic requirement of logistics management. ”

Focusing on topics such as factors hindering the high-quality development of hospital logistics and the path of high-quality development, Liu An, head of Schneider Electric's medical industry, introduced: "Hospital management is shifting from extensive mode to refined management, from passive to active. Taking the handling of failures as an example, the traditional common practice is to deal with the failure when it comes, rather than preventing it before it occurs. With the improvement of cognition and the improvement of logistics management technology, whether it is refinement or initiative, it will be further improved. At the same time, safety, reliability, energy efficiency and sustainable development will go hand in hand. Under the double carbon target, hospitals should clarify their own energy consumption points and energy-saving space, and pay attention to considering 'using the province' instead of 'saving the use' in terms of high efficiency and energy saving. Usually, the completion of a hospital means the beginning of renovation, and it is a long-term process. The update and iteration of medical equipment, the transformation of medical content and process flow, the adjustment of medical function space, etc., the above factors will cause the transformation of hospitals. Therefore, high-quality logistics development should fully consider sustainable development in addition to meeting safety, reliability, high efficiency and energy saving. “

Digitalization empowers the high-quality development of hospital logistics

During the conference, Schneider Electric EcoStruxure digital empowerment smart hospital building logistics operation and maintenance program received widespread attention as soon as it was unveiled. In this regard, Liu An said that Schneider Electric is helping the high-quality development of hospital logistics through the "four integration" solution, that is, the integration of medium and low voltage, the integration of strong and weak electricity, the integration of software and hardware, and the integration of operation and management. In the successful practice of the North Branch of Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, Schneider Electric has opened up the strong and weak electric sides to improve the energy efficiency of customers and achieve 18% energy savings.

At the end of the dialogue session, Liu An used three words to express his message to "beautiful hospital, beautiful logistics"; respect. 2. Everyone in the hospital can be fully respected under the high-quality logistics of the hospital; Worry-free. 3. Everyone who arrives at the hospital is able to seek medical care and work without worry; easiness. The logistics personnel can be calm enough to use efficient and modern tools and means to understand all the logistics affairs in the hospital, eliminate hidden dangers, and prevent problems before they occur.

Finally, as the moderator concluded, the grand blueprint for achieving the "double carbon" goal requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society. As a public building, the hospital has strict spatial order and functional requirements, and the building layout is complex, there are many functional areas, the requirements for the use time, temperature, humidity and cleanliness of different functional areas are quite different, and the uninterrupted operation throughout the year, the energy consumption far exceeds that of general public buildings. In the future, Schneider Electric will continue to rely on years of practical experience, continuous innovation and leading digital solutions in the medical industry to play a greater role in helping the construction of "smart hospitals", helping the medical industry achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, and promoting the high-quality and sustainable development of the medical industry, especially hospital logistics.
