Digitization Drives the Next Wave of Healthcare Innovation in China
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Beijing (August 29, 2012) - Wolters Kluwer's CEO and health leaders met today
with over a hundred medical students at Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) to
discuss the future of Chinese healthcare innovation - a crucial topic for the
healthcare industry in China - during a Wolters Kluwer seminar, "Innovation
Driving Next-Generation Healthcare."
The world's largest internet and mobile user population, expected to hit 700
million by 2015, is also rapidly expanding its professional information and
knowledge segments. In the Chinese healthcare field in particular, digitization
of information and healthcare IT are poised to become increasingly important as
the Chinese Ministry of Health plans to invest 800 billion Yuan (about 126
billion USD) in health system reform.
Wolters Kluwer has an important position in the Chinese healthcare market
offering high quality, innovative solutions for healthcare professionals through
information products and services including UpToDate, Lippincott Williams &
Wilkins, Ovid, and, most recently, through a joint venture with Medicom, leading
China drug information provider. Medicom now offers the most robust suite of
Chinese drug information products in use by hospitals in China.
Wolters Kluwer CEO Nancy McKinstry opened the seminar. According to McKinstry,
"This seminar gives us an excellent opportunity to meet with the next generation
of healthcare professionals. The medical students in this classroom will have an
excellent opportunity to learn about innovations in the way health information
is disseminated and applied to improve healthcare outcomes for doctors,
hospitals, and patients. We also learn from their ideas and great enthusiasm to
improve healthcare in China."
Professor Guan Yuanzhi, Dean of Medical Education, Peking Union Medical College,
discussed recent changes in medical education at PUMC. Susan Driscoll, President
& CEO, Wolters Kluwer Health, Professional & Education, shared her insights on
the digitization of medical education and practice in the U.S. Dr. Zhang Lei
spoke about medical education in the networked era and the role of social media.
Andrew Richardson, VP Business Development and General Manager Europe, Wolters
Kluwer Medical Research, discussed how mobile technology is transforming the
healthcare industry and user behaviors in terms of content. Li Tiantian, founder
of the largest online academic portal for physicians and life science
professionals, DXY.com, looked at the topic of how to use social media in
improving academic achievement.
