Building a platform of medical qualifications authorization and control in a hospital group: practice and exploration

Abstract

Control of the qualifications and behaviors of medical practitioners in branches of a hospital group has become imperative to guarantee medical quality and safety. We have explored a development program of the information platform to meet the needs of unified authorization and closed-loop management of hospital groups, constructed a medical qualifications authorization management and control platform based on private clouds, established a specialized medical qualifications and authorization model, standardized the approval process, and reduced the approval time. At the same time, we work with a human resources management platform, to develop qualifications assessment tools for supervision, for the purposes of dynamic renewal and withdrawal of medical qualifications. We have set up a centralized medical behavior authority database and an authority verification interface, selected key business steps, and readapted the business system for authority verification. These measures can effectively control practitioners′ medical behavior and ensure medical safety.
