Building critical infrastructure platforms with Cloudera
According to Ho, the Hospital Authority has built its Hospital Command Center alongside Cloudera. This center can check for the previously mentioned bottlenecks, has portals to manage the patient admission and discharge process, and assists in visualizing individual records.
Following the rollout of the Hospital Command Centre, the access block saw a notable improvement. In the fourth quarter of 2022, approximately 12 % of patients experienced A & E admission wait times of four hours or more. By the third quarter of 2024, this figure had been reduced to around 3 %.
In addition, the Hospital Authority has employed other use cases thanks to Cloudera, including Smart Patient Listing, which allows clinicians to perform treatments based on specific patient conditions using clinical data collected from different IT systems.
