The Construction of the Sequential Medical System for Trauma Care

Abstract

The connection between pre-hospital and in-hospital emergency care is paramount in determining the survival rate of trauma patients. Sequential Medical System (SMS) puts an accent on the continuous and efficient entire process of trauma treatment, which promotes the connection of pre-hospital and in-hospital medical activities from “seamless” to “deep convergence” by information sharing platforms, joint teaching rounds, and cooperative medical science popularization. SMS upholds a “people’s health-centered” approach under the guidance of Healthy China Strategy, and its application enables emergency ambulance personnel to participate in the teaching rounds at hospitals, and follow up with their patients. SMS contributes to enhancing patients’ experience, especially to improve the efficiency of the emergency green channel for severe trauma patients. The system embodies the human-oriented discipline in trauma treatment, and facilitates the innovation research on medical and health system reform.
