The Joint Commission of Taiwan (hereinafter referred to as “JCT”) is an organization established in 1999 funding by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Taiwan Hospital Association, Taiwan Non-Government Hospitals and Clinics Association, and Taiwan Medical Association. With credit and trust earned from society for its honesty, integrity and neutrality in implementing accreditation, certification and onsite inspection activities over time, JCT has qualified to become a professional accrediting organization which is certified by the International Society for Quality in Health Care Ltd. (ISQua). JCT is also committed to promoting quality and patient safety concepts, the use of quality promotion management tools, and healthcare professionals training, establishment of resource sharing platform with medical partners in order to convey exceptional healthcare value, to stimulate institutions in continuous improvement and to jointly promote the health and welfare of the general public. In recent years, with consideration of the advancement of medical technologies, increase of complexity of types of diseases and the insufficient manpower in the medical industry, JCT values the concept of Smart Care currently implemented internationally and observes that various medical institutions have gradually started to utilize information technology to assist the performance of healthcare services in order to increase benefit and safety as well as to reduce errors. Since 2013, JCT has started to launch the “Smart Hospital Outstanding Project Campaign”. In 2014, for the “HQIC”, “Smart Healthcare Category” campaign has been officially established, seeking outstanding and successful projects from medical institutions utilizing information technology in medical practice. The campaign has designed with the concept of Solution, Service, and Smart Hospital, “Industrial Application Group” has further included in 2015 and “Smart Service Group” has also been included in 2018, in light of selecting outstanding healthcare intellectualization implementations from the campaign to provide the benchmarking opportunities for medical institutions. In addition, joint cooperation between technology industry and medical institutions can be encouraged in order to improve the medical performance and quality as well as to create industrial values. The campaign has been implemented for 6 years, and there are 71 institutions, 485 projects, and 4 services participating in the campaign (including medical institutions and information industry operators) up to the present day. The smart healthcare logo and prizes are awarded to outstanding projects and service, and according to the overall award winning performance of hospitals, the logo of “Smart Hospital” is also awarded to the entire institution in order to encourage hospitals in the overall development of intellectualization. Presently, there are 6 medical institutions in the nation that have obtained the logo of “Smart Hospital” for the entire institution. The purpose of the “Smart Healthcare Category” campaign is not only to select those with excellent smart healthcare services but also to demonstrate the MIT health service information solution to the world.

Healthcare services with assistance of information technology to increase efficiency, quality and healthcare value; Innovative technology applications to drive industrial development value.
Background of Healthcare Quality Award
Since 2000, JCT has started to promote the “Healthcare Quality Circle Announcement and Campaign”. At the beginning, the “Healthcare Quality Circle” was the key of the promotion, and the purpose was to encourage the primary healthcare personnel to form teams, to focus on the topic of quality improvement and to use the PDCA management cycle as the basis such that self-inspiration and interactive inspiration among the team members, team works can be utilized along with the use of statistical data and quality management tools in order to perform continuous improvement activities. Based on the concept of incorporating diverse quality management methods for quality improvement, in 2002 (third year), the “Quality Improvement Group” was further included to seek quality improvement projects of non-healthcare quality circle to participate in the campaign. To encourage the medical industry to break through the self-departmentalism confined in its unit or professional field, in 2006 (seventh year), the participation aspects of the campaign were expanded, and the name of the campaign was also changed to “Overall Healthcare Quality Improvement Campaign” along with the promotion of relevant topics of “Integrated Holistic Healthcare’ and “Patient Safety”, “Evidence-Based Medicine”. Furthermore, in 2007 (eighth year), the campaign framework was restructured, and it was divided into three main campaign categories of “Subject Category”, “System Category” and “Evidence-Based Medicine Category”. In 2008 (ninth year), the name of the campaign was changed to “Healthcare Quality Award” with its full name as “Healthcare Quality Improvement Campaign (HQIC)” in light of extending the name of the original campaign and to emphasize the spirits of “continuous improvement”, “management cycle” and “team work” for the improvement of healthcare quality. To encourage small medical institutions, clinics, health centers and long-term care institutions to participate in the campaign, in 2011 (twelfth year), the Subject Category further included the “Community Healthcare Group”. JCT has started to host the “GrossStrait Healthcare Quality Promotional Exchange Campaign” Since 2012 (thirteenth year) in light of encoring greater number of institutions to perform quality improvement and benchmarking through such event in order to achieve the objective of improving the healthcare quality. In 2013 (fourteenth year), to encourage medical institutions in the utilization of simulation trainings to improve the cooperation and communication skills of healthcare team, the “Simulation Scenario Category” was further included. In 2014 (fifteenth year), to improve the utilization of information technology of medical institutions, the “Smart Medical Category” was included as the fifth category of campaign. To encourage new healthcare personnel during training to participate in the quality activities, the “Documentation Verification Newcomer Group” was further included in the EvidenceBased Medicine category, and “Emergency/Critical Care Newcomer Group” was included in the Simulation Scenario Category. To stimulate domestic institutions or units to improve the healthcare quality through innovative researches in order to develop outstanding characteristic healthcare services, since 2016(seventeenth year), the“System Category”has further included the“Outstanding Center Group” and “Outstanding Community Institution Group”. In 2018 (nineteenth year), the “Outstanding Institution Award” was awarded for the first time to medical institutions with outstanding performance in various campaigns in the year. Besides, the “Smart Healthcare Category” further included the “Smart Service Group” to identify the “Service” of utilizing information technology to assist in healthcare operations. -Joint Commission of Taiwan

Next generation genome sequencing (NGS) involves with huge amount of data volume. It is difficult to conduct manpower screening and verification as well as data processing and analyze with traditional interpretation. It takes long time and usually the conclusion is still difficult to be made after several weeks. The system is a self-developed program to assist physicians in interpreting genetic variation remark data after next generation genome sequencing. It can be used to screen data rapidly with pre-set or customized conditions to shorten the scope of data interpretation. The grogram can also look up the gene database to obtain the information whether the variation location is with pathogenicity. With reference of huge amount of literatures, BM25 value is used to represent the correlation between the candidate gene and clinical signs. A potential database of patient disease cause by gene is established so that physicians can screen out gene according to sequencing data with the support of inputting symptom of the disease or possible diagnosis. The system uses text mining comparison technology to list possible genes and diseases. Experience sharing and implementation performance
The program has become the conventional tool used for next generation genome sequencing interpretation by the Department of Medical Genetics in our hospital. With the assistance of the program, our team has successfully established the process of rapid next generation genetic diagnosis. Our team published the research outcome at 2018 Human Genetic Society Spring Conference and then at American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG annual meeting) Taiwan Pediatric Association in 2018. Both received great attention and it proves the benefit of the program. Currently, the team still holds conference regularly to continue enhancing and improving the functions of software with the expectation to be able to meet the clinical demand even better. The project result is with highly clinical application value as well as the potential of being promoting it as commercial mode. In the future, we plan to develop the webpage version and convert the program into the online service pattern to provide it for the research units and medical clinics that have demand in genetic analysis as well as establish local genetic analysis database.

Medical equipment is the necessary asset in the hospital to assist clinical diagnosis and treatment, and it is related to patients’ and colleagues’ safety. In order to maintain the medical equipment in good state, medical equipment management must be carried out. There are numerous items of medical equipment in the hospital and they are spread out at each clinical department; the state and quantity of the equipment are very difficult to control. In terms of daily maintenance, it is often seen that all sorts of paper cards are hung on the equipment or information, such as operating instruction, trouble shooting and maintenance card. For repairing, the problems of the using unit forgetting to issue repairing request form or unclear description on the malfunction of the equipment are common. In the past, medical equipment is documented with hardcopy by manual and it requires a lot of labor and time and is not easy to manage. With the concept of achieving the maximum efficiency of medical equipment management process and making sure the equipment is available and safe, our hospital develops “smart system for medical equipment maintenance and repairing actions” on our own to provide users maintenance and repairing request service timely. It also provides equipment information of repairing and maintenance for medical engineers to advance working efficiency in order to facilitate management and control the status of the medical equipment.

Patient-centered PFM medical record Introduction of the award-winning work
2019 Appalication Of Smart Medical Technology 35
For a long time, IT information often leaves people an impression of cold and boring and the design angle usually is away from human nature in medical care. Chung Shan Medical University Hospital started to promote electronic medical records in 2009 to upgrade and renovate information and input human warmth. The cold and boring IT medical care is returned to human nature and concern by integrating cross-discipline talents with both medical and IT professionalism, and we developed “patient-focused method” (PFM) electronic medical record on our own. The so-called patient-centered is to think from patients’ points of view and re-build up electronic medical record system for patients’ diagnosis records; that is patients’ “diagnosis diary”. All the processes from the patient entering the hospital are actually recorded, including any critical examination, surgery, special treatment, and the illness explanation carried out to the patient or family members. It is guided by images to reduce physician-patient gaps. In the whole, it is established based on visualized electronic medical records and PFM concepts to allow new medical information system combining medical practice with human nature efficiently. Through patients’ medical and outpatient process, the pioneer new generation patient-centered PFM electronic record is established. Experience sharing and implementation performance
We establish IT design regulations for medical record and strengthen medical record composition to equally emphasize image and text. Mobile technology is fully used to establish visualized electronic medical record to directly link the medical images and diagnosis record to the electronic record that meets the structure of DICOM and PACS through mobile device in order to achieve “easy to write by medical and nursing personnel”, “easy to read by patients”, “easy to design by engineers”, and “easy to maintain by hospital”. The most important thing is the innovative electronic medical record system is transformed to the combination of “big system and APP micro-software” instead of relying on HIS big system. It innovates and transforms medical record pattern, improves operational process, advances

working efficiency and achieves zero error of patient identification. Besides, it follows the concept of PFM to re-design “illness situation explanation”, “treatment plan”, “informed consent” and “progression record”. On one hand, the quality of medical record content is advanced by information technology and convenient measures. On the other hand, the patient safety and physician-patient communication are enhanced at the same time. We successfully converted the difficult-to-understand medical records into simple and easy-to-understand visual medical records. Implementation benefits

Seamless integration between acute medical care and long-term care Introduction of the award-winning work
2019 Appalication Of Smart Medical Technology 47
The main target of the system is to construct “nursing home management system” that links the nursing records between medical care and nursing home. The integration care will be linked to the long-term care institution when the discharging planing in the medical system starts. Green channel is established between the hospital and the nursing home to link operation flow and information flow and to share the care record done in the interdisciplinary team (physician, nurse, pharmacist, dietician, physiatrist, social worker, and carer) in order to provide one-stop service and seamless connect front-end medical care and rear-end continuity of care together. Experience sharing and implementation performance
Through the practical clinical application of the system, we found that “medical and care information need to be effectively integrated in order to actually provide continuity of care”. The residents in the nursing home usually have multiple diseases and complicated illness record, and they are often hospitalized due to the complication of multiple diseases and acute symptom during the care process. New demand of nursing often occurs during hospitalization due to function deterioration, and patients will have to travel between the hospital and the nursing home frequently. When patients visit the doctor in the hospital, physicians need to understand the care records and suggestions from other professional team (such as nurse, dietician, psychologist, physiatrist, social work, and pharmacist) in the nursing home. When patients receive care in the nursing home, healthcare information often needs to be integrated and obtains the care suggestions from physicians due to the complicated medical records. Therefore, the information of acute medical care and the institutional longterm care information in the nursing home must be seamlessly integrated and connected before the cross-institution continuity of care can be provided.

The progress of order can be monitored any time to facilitate appointment making in order to reduce patients’tiredness caused by long journey. Especial for patients with special demands, it often is involved with other people and the intangible manpower and society costs are increased comparatively. After confirming the prosthesis delivered by the dental technology institute is correct, patients will be able to try it and make necessary adjustment immediately when they visit the hospital. The number of time visiting hospital can be reduced and medical quality and patient satisfaction are enhanced. It is very important to use QR code to reinforce the identification of the identity of the prosthesis. In the future, the hospital will be able to recall and show the care to the patient’s status if there is any adverse reaction that the patient has towards the prosthesis. Through the transparence of medical supply chain information, the source of raw material and the quality level of raw material can be traced according to the dental technology institute that produced the prosthesis. Sufficient information will be provided to report to the hospital, and relevant competent unit, like Ministry of Health and Welfare, timely if there is any abnormality to achieve the purpose of enhancing medical quality and patient safety as well as meet the medical care regulations of the implant.

The self-developed planning and budget management system platform by our hospital has been launched in 2015. Other than considering the demands of the using units, the platform design also includes the demand of management. The review mechanism and card access management are included from planning and budget listing as well as integrate with other administrative management system, such as “Fixed Asset Management System” and “Requisition and Purchasing System”. The information of the process from budget review and approval to the completion of purchasing can all be effectively controlled to reduce manual operational time and enhance administrative efficiency. Experience sharing and implementation performance
After introducing planning and budget management system, the system will record the content of annual plan at each department in details to actually push the mission, vision and target of the whole hospital. When the department draws up plan, it will be able to set up its development direction based on it. The planning and budget review will be able to be implemented through the platform. The function of card access verification established by the system can reduce the error rate of filling out at the unit and excessive budget listing. All of the unnecessary manual work in the past can be eliminated to achieve time and cost saving and the effectiveness of enhancing correctness rate.
