The hospital has alwaysbeen the “bellwether in medical skills and quality,” which strictly controlsquality, constantly develops new techniques, and provides the best techniquesand high-quality, safe, and convenient services for patients.
The World’s Largest Medical Center for Cardiovascular Diseases
On several best hospital lists, Fuwai has ranked firstamong the 18 triple A, first-class hospitals in Beijing. In terms of health care quality and efficiency ofacute myocardial infarction (AMI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and hypertension (adult), Fuwairanked first in comprehensive scores combined with top one of “outpatientsexperience and satisfaction” assessed by third-party institution. In the bestspecialized hospital list compiled by Fudan University, the cardiology andcardiac-thoracic surgery at our hospital has also ranked top one forconsecutive 6 years.
Pioneering and Leading the Developmentof Medical Technology for Diagnosis and Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases
At the beginning of its establishment, Fuwai Hospitalperformed thoracoplasty, pneumonectomy, resection of esophageal carcinoma andopen heart surgery with low temperature cardiopulmonary bypass, which madethese procedures available in China. During the Cultural Revolution, thehospital first performed the ventricular aneurysm resection, coronary arterybypass grafting, and artificial biovalve replacement in China, making “Fuwai”the leading hospital in the field of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. Sincethe reform and opening up, Fuwai Hospital has initiated in intracoronary thrombolysisfor acute myocardial infarction, Bentall surgery, arterial switch operation,direct percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarctioncombined with cardiogenic shock, coronary artery stent implantation (barestent), off-pump CABG, hybrid coronary artery revascularization, double aorticroot switch operation, hybrid technology to treat newborns of pulmonary atresiawith intact ventricular septum. In recent decade, with innovation in newtechnique, the hospital has completed the first Asian percutaneous ventricularassist device (Impella), the first leadless pacemaker implantation in China andinitiated in one-stop hybrid treatment strategies and technologies for coronaryartery diseases, congenital heart diseases,macroangiopathic diseases (hybrid technique for leftmain and triple vessels coronary artery disease as well as Neonatal pulmonaryatresia), clinical trial of independent-developed FW-2 axial flow pump of ventricularauxiliary and closure of atrial septal defect with percutaneous puncture, whichraised the treatment of critical and difficult cardiovascular disease in Chinato the international standard.
Improving Quality of MedicalCare through Information Technology
Since 2002, the hospitalhas been developing and establishing an informatization supported system thatcenters on electronic medical records with highly integrated information,strictly controlled processes, complete knowledge systems, early warning andstrict cost containment mechanisms. After many years of effort, a platform formedical care quality evaluation and information sharing was finally established.What’s more, a multi-dimension medical document management and evaluationsystem has been developed. Through the top-level design and in-depth dataanalysis by using the platform, the hospital has been improving their qualityof medical care, optimizing medical process, facilitating medical services,improve management system and supporting scientific researches, etc, and hasrealized the universal coverage of informatization. As for data safety, thehospital passed the Information Security Classification System third gradeassessment in November 2012, becoming the first domestic hospital passing theassessment and meeting the Grade A standard for “information security andpatient privacy protection.” In addition, the hospital was also awarded with the title of“Grade 6 Hospital in the Application of Electronic Medical Records” in2014, which provided the effective approach to improve the medical efficiency.
