The absence of high-end medical equipment China Perspective
According to statistics, in 2008 China\\ s medical device market of 900 billion yuan, accounting for 45% of the total global market; 2010, China\\ s medical device market reached 120 billion yuan, an increase of up to 23%. Some experts predict that in the next few years, China will surpass Japan as the world\\ s second largest medical device market. However, the current medical equipment and more monopolized by foreign brands. Recently, the correspondent of the status quo of China\\ s medical equipment made a survey of China\\ s high-end medical equipment, dialysis, \"absence\" of reasons.
Ms. Lee\\ s father, careful not to fall recently, the doctor said it must be artificial joint replacement, United States production, need a hundred thousand dollars. Ms. Lee is too expensive, and consult a doctor if there are some cheap domestic joint, the answer is no. Ms. Lee can not help but send questions, in recent years, rapid development of China\\ s science and technology, to build satellites, manned space flight can be, how the production of artificial joints can not do?
Medical equipment and more monopolized by imported products
In major hospitals, patients need to do orthopedic fixation, doctors first thought and application, are imported brands. Beijing Union Medical College Hospital Director QIU Gui-xing Academy of Orthopaedic lamented: \"In our hospitals in China to be a routine orthopedic surgery, the size of equipment are all \\ foreign goods\\ , the local infusion of medical equipment is only skin tubes, syringes and other disposable supplies, the number of a bit sad! \"
QIU Gui-xing, said China\\ s current high-end medical equipment more than 80% of the monopoly of foreign multinational companies, foreign medical devices in China\\ s large share of over 70% of the hospital, at the same time, high-end medical devices multinational corporations have begun to focus in low-end product development, have the layout of the low-end products and sales. So strong, \"staking\", making the high prices of medical devices, increase the people\\ s \"expensive.\"
\"Foreign goods\" may not be suitable for Chinese people
As the saying goes \"you pay\", prices of imported medical devices, it means that the effect is not good?
In this regard, deputy director of Peking University Health Science Jiang Baoguo clear that \"foreign goods\" may not be suitable for Chinese people.
\"The current clinical application of orthopedic medical devices abroad, mostly designed in accordance with European and American race, presence of clinical application of bone anatomy does not match with the Chinese people, surgical operation more difficult, resulting in prolonged surgery, doctors and patients to increase the risk. \"Jiangbao Guo pointed out that as currently there is no high-quality orthopedic device products, only a passive role is not entirely suitable for the patient\\ s device, to a certain extent, affect clinical outcomes.
Lack of innovation is the \"common problem\"
Why China\\ s high-end medical equipment, \"absence\"? The reason is not difficult to find, lack of innovation is the \"common problem.\"
\"China\\ s medical device industry started late, low starting point, over ninety percent of low-grade products, industrial environment, mainly SMEs, in the management, development concept, globalization of trade, etc., with the international advanced medical equipment enterprises there is considerable gap. \"Peking University Health Science Research at the Han Hongbin said China\\ s enterprises in technological innovation, product research and development investment in less independent, less innovation, market competitiveness is weak.
\"In practice, we have to face this fact: for the first time applied to the surgical procedures in the medical equipment is often imported, after a period of time will find that the domestic market, there is a corresponding imitation, and that these imitation, and only the low-end products. \"Jiang, vice president of Beijing Ji Shui Tan Hospital Association have very much helpless.
Joint development of a unified understanding of diverse needs
Han Hongbin said the country\\ s medical equipment business outside enemies, competition within peer companies, engineering companies, capital and research strength of the background is not strong, even in the face of new scientific discoveries or inventions, most companies are not able to digest, absorption, transformation and market oriented. Coupled with lack of funds is a common problem in business, so to grow through mergers and acquisitions there are difficulties.
\"Development is not simply rely on independent innovation, one or several scientific discovery or technological invention and technology can achieve.\" Han Hongbin that the system of industrial innovation needs top-level design, not only related to the health care industry in all aspects of the innovation chain, and even need involved in the overall theoretical foundation of Western science analysis. Therefore, the medical industry promotion, understanding and unity under the leadership needs of the multi-joint development.
Peking University Third Hospital Chen Zhongqiang that the Government should strengthen efforts to support and develop relevant policies to encourage the influx of related industries, from raw material production to R & D and production equipment, to be as important livelihood industry. In addition, Chen Zhongqiang also suggested to encourage clinicians directly involved in product development to go.

Regional medical information system and benefit analysis
Regional health information is information about the entire health care industry, a very important process of the content, the level of high and low, not only directly affect the process of medical information, but also to some extent, the regional representative of the overall level of information technology, modern regional characteristics and signs. In short, the regional health information technology is to improve the quality of care an important basis for national, regional health information analysis and planning should be the regional medical information throughout the construction process.
More and more of the region began the establishment of regional health information platform, through the establishment of a unified regional health information platform for regional health information sharing. In planning the construction of the region\\ s medical information, you need to know the status of regional health information with some problems.
A regional analysis of the background medical information
1, Economic (economic) analysis
With China\\ s rapid economic development in recent years, people\\ s livelihood, improving the country\\ s economic life has increasingly become a policy priority. Countries in April 2009 announced the list of 4 trillion yuan investment, including investment health, education and other social undertakings 150 billion, accounting for 4% of the total degree. According to \"CPC Central Committee and State Council on Deepening the views of medical and health system\" ,2009-2011 levels of government will invest 850 billion yuan for the promotion of five major reform, and health care information technology will become an important measure of health care reform
2, Political (political) analysis
According to the 2009 \"CPC Central Committee and State Council on Deepening the views of medical and health system\" (in the (2009) 6) (the new medical reform), the leadership doing a good job five reforms: accelerating basic medical security system; initially established national essential drug system; improve primary health care service system; basic public health services to promote the gradual equalization; promote the reform of public hospitals.
Information on the five essential reforms are in the position, China will gradually establish health administrative departments at all levels to build coverage, disease prevention and control centers, health surveillance centers, medical institutions, efficient, fast, smooth information network system will be extended to reach urban communities and rural health clinic, and the establishment of a unified regional health information platform.
3, Social (social) analysis
Medical treatment is difficult and expensive has been the social problems encountered by the average family will often be a sudden illness will bankrupt the happiness of a middle-income families. Regional health information technology is becoming an effective way to solve this problem. Regional health information system as a basic public health service network architecture, is an important health-related information gathering source. Therefore, improving the regional medical information not only helps to improve and standardize the regional health service functions, improve the regional health service quality, promote the deepening of regional health service system development, but also help promote the overall progress of medical information systems, to speed up medical information the pace of construction.
4, Technological (technology) analysis
Information as to deepen the medical and health system support four beams one of eight columns of eight columns, RFID, GPS, GPRS, wireless sensor networks, bar code technology for IT hardware and medical devices applications; cloud computing, cloud storage applications to reduce the various medical organization\\ s investment in information technology to reduce duplication of software and development; security domains technology can solve a certain extent, personal health records and medical information security issues; SaaS technology will greatly reduce the cost of construction of hospital information , cycle, reduce hospital information systems hardware and software maintenance costs. Wisdom, standardized regional medical technology for medical information will be interconnection, services, processes, services and management of an important impetus for collaboration and integration.
Second, the regional health status and problems of information technology
1, operation and management
Regional health information technology is the most important overall planning. Part of the medical information technology in a good area, the basic unit of information technology has been put in place, and be able to support their daily business needs, but if the business beyond the unit, the data and information transfer and sharing can not be reached. According to this trend, is bound to repeat the infrastructure investment in regional health information technology could not bear to spend time and manpower on an overall plan, in the end will be the cost and poor.
2, sustainable development
As a result of the imbalance in regional economic development, health care level of development, speed and goals are inconsistent. Therefore, the construction of medical information throughout the area of ??hardware, software, human, material and financial resources there is a different problem, in general, still need to strengthen awareness of information services, information services environment to be improved, the lack of overall information system planning, consulting, supervision services market still needs development.
3, Application Performance
Referral process of information sharing and mutual recognition mechanism, medical information flow within the region and sharing, regional development and utilization of information resources and other issues are near or far to affect the regional medical information the next step forward. China in recent years, regional health information despite some success, but there is a lack of unified planning, development is uneven; public health, health surveillance, health services, health management information silos and other areas is serious, it is difficult to achieve interoperability, information sharing.
4, business support
From the application of information and business support perspective, the first information technology-based small amount; Second, the quality is not high, due to lack of planning and management, information technology is difficult to achieve the desired height; third medical information across all units uneven distribution of information technology; fourth degree of resource sharing is not enough. Due to fragmentation, different areas, different regions, different systems of public services, lack of resources, sharing of long-term effective mechanism, resulting in the functional structure is irrational, the uneven geographical distribution, the low efficiency of resource allocation.
5, the technical architecture
From a technical architecture point of view, the following problems: First, the lack of comprehensive information technology standards, including standard identifiers, communications technology, standards, content and structure of standards and codes related to data standards; second, the expansion of the lack of breadth, depth the extension; Third, the data resources division, can not achieve the share; fourth, the need of scientific and effective security, information management mechanism to ensure information security in the premise, to achieve the greatest degree of information sharing.
Third, the regional medical-benefit analysis of information technology
1, the establishment of a unified platform for medical resources
Information of the medical model to patient-centered, so that different levels of hospitals, medical management and patient information resources can be shared between the conditions, to achieve cross-organizational, high-efficient network communication and coordination. Through a unified information platform, consumers, health care providers and government agencies can gradually establish a relationship of mutual trust, thereby reducing costs, optimizing health care resources.
2, information collaboration and win-win situation
Through the information service platform, individual health can be more convenient to carry out information sharing and division of labor. For health care institutions, to facilitate the doctor, help to improve the quality of care; of scientific research institutions, research topics of medical science provides effective access to information sources; for health management agencies, public health expenditure in reducing also reduce the duplication of investment in large-scale screening equipment caused by waste; protection of public health emergency response agency, due to the unusual control system and timely emergency medical situation in which the health authority can carry out similar prevention and management.
3, reduce duplication of investment and construction costs
Through regional health information sharing to break the traditional fragmentation of health care resource sharing open up a new path. Authorized hospitals and health institutions can be extracted from a single platform, update, save the information. This led to the regional government, third-party platform shared collaborative model of health care benefits is a regional center, direct sharing, impact range, reducing the duplication of investment and construction costs.

Fourth, the regional medical information system
1, to determine the implementation of the main
The current implementation of a regional health information to hospitals or university as the center, but also lead to medical management center, but also to the government to operate. Not the same as the level of institutions at all levels, throughout the construction of the participating units are not the same. Overall, the regional medical information need to coordinate the process of building multiple resources, recommended by the government organizations, and government operation and maintenance management. The establishment of a government led by capable, efficient command and decision system, clarify the responsibilities of work organization and work flow.
2, the overall structure of information
Medical information generally go through three stages: the stage of the hospital management information, clinical stage and regional management information medical information phase. First, you must first do-based information systems, such as the first on the HIS (Hospital Information System), and on this basis, continuously RIS (radiology information system), LIS (Laboratory Information Management System), PACS (medical imaging archiving and communication system) and other connected up, then CIS (Clinical Information System) after the next to do is to public health information system (CHSS system), an integrated hospital information system by medical services, health education into the family, followed by promote management service platform, such as e-government, health care information management and medical e-commerce platform.
3, the structure of information resources
First, starting from the national level to \"opinions on deepening the health care reform\" as a guide, as soon as possible national health information model. From the information point of view, definition of medical institutions at all levels of the main functions, responsibilities, tasks and scope of medical institutions and medical institutions, and other agencies, such as funding and the relationship between institutions; followed by the establishment of Regional Medical Resource Center responsible for regional medical establishment and a variety of information resources to collect, maintain, and improve the medical management software repository and the co-ordination of planning.
4, tools and standards
Organization-related professionals, with reference to the corresponding international standards, define for all types of health care industry events, news and events related to the structure, data types, data formats, the development of message exchange engine, the message encoding and decoding, and through the data exchange standard version of the upgrade, maintenance, to achieve dynamic update message structure. In the process of regional health information, support and encourage the use of open standards for health information platform, and to explore the hospital, community, public health agencies collaborative model, business process innovation and so on.
5, information integration architecture
Regional integration is the focus of health information technology implementation, by means of effective information systems, and properly handle the various relationships between health care institutions. In the health authorities and medical institutions to implement an integrated management information system, government, hospitals, scientific research, disease surveillance, government, community health and family in a unified technology platform to carry out the operation, and the coordinated development of the plate to provide support for linkage .
6, information technology infrastructure
Only grass-roots public health agencies and all levels of the hospital\\ s own information up to a certain extent, the regional health information technology has been considered basic. Therefore, to effectively build health service infrastructure, including regional health centers, specialty hospitals, health oversight agencies, CDC, reproductive health, health service centers and the various units of their own information, such as intra-hospital medical imaging, video conferencing, voice services (including VoIP), wireless access, environmental control, building access control, monitoring and other biomedical data applications.
7, protection and security system
Regional health information projects, need to be protected by a series of measures implemented, including policies and regulations on protection, organization and personnel to ensure and sources of funding, the government, business and community wide support and participation. In addition the building security system is also very important, health personal health record system in a number of privacy issues involved, patient medication database related to the hospital with the economic interests and social benefits. Therefore, in the process of regional health information must be information storage and transmission of information security to be considered.
In summary, the regional health information technology is the power in the interest of future generations of systematic social engineering of complex, regardless of their background or the proposed benefits to society are far-reaching significance. Its purpose is coordination and integration of public health, medical services and other fields, to achieve interoperability, efficiency and quality of health services management to create a truly patient-centered health care system the region to achieve the information, the consistency of business and management , continuity, effectiveness and control, medical and health services for the Chinese to make a contribution.

Eight Latin American medical device market opportunities flowing
In Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Venezuela as the representative of South American countries in recent years rapid economic growth, Latin America has become a world economic growth Daxin power. Including the Caribbean countries, including Latin America there are 41 countries with a total population of about 500 million people. It is understood that some 23 countries in Latin American countries (mostly island) does not practice medical equipment management system. These include Angela Island, Andean and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, San Salvador, and so on. Of these countries, except for some British colonies, the medical device exporters as long as local health departments in registration of its products, you can output to the country free medical products. While the other 18 Latin American countries (the total population of about 90% of the total population of Latin America) is basically developed their own medical device product management system. These countries include Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico Valley, Uruguay and Venezuela.
Incidentally, the Paraguayan government departments last year, just started to develop products for the import of medical equipment management system of the draft. Compared with European countries, Latin American countries, medical equipment management system is relatively generous allotment. Even countries like Brazil and Mexico in Latin America such a big country, and its imports of medical equipment management system is also trump northern neighbor – the United States as strict. As Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela and Chile and other Latin American major economies in the past 10 years economic development well, making it the health sector in the import of medical equipment products have sufficient funds, it is commonly used in hospital equipment and equipment imports increase in number. Latin America has now become an international medical device manufacturers hot new export markets. According to foreign media related news, I now eight major Latin American economies, the medical device market in 2010 for a brief overview of the situation.
It is well-known international consulting firm Datamonitor released a material disclosure in 2010, eight major economies in Latin America\\ s GDP will reach $ 4.2 trillion total GDP. About 2.8 times in Africa and Asia (excluding Japan) of 40%. The eight Latin American countries, a combined population of 484 million. After 2007 and 2008 after the international financial crisis, Latin America\\ s major economies, the national economy recovered well, GDP generally increased from 1 to 3 percentage points. Particularly Colombia, the international financial crisis in 2008, the GDP fell nearly 3 percent, after two years of adjustment, the national economy has been restored to 2007 levels, and a slight increase. Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela and Chile and other Latin American countries and oil-exporting mineral major economic growth momentum. Mexico has become Latin America\\ s largest importer of medical devices. Followed by Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina and Chile. Although Brazil is Latin America\\ s largest country, but in the past few years, the country\\ s total amount of imported medical products are only slightly more than half of Mexico.
Argentina
In 2002, Argentina has experienced a domestic economic crisis, the national currency – the peso dollar once fell to 8 to 9 pesos. But after several years of restoration, in 2010 the Argentine peso exchange rate to revert to the United States 10 years ago, ie $ 1 for 3.9 pesos. Argentina\\ s medical device industry is relatively weak, so most of the products needed equipment imported from abroad. It is estimated that the medical device market in Argentina 500 million to 600 million dollars, the equivalent of 1.9 billion to 23 billion pesos.
Brazil
Brazil is Latin America\\ s most populous country, the region\\ s most developed industrial countries. Brazil\\ s medical device market in 2010, total sales of $ 2.631 billion, second only to the size of Mexico, ranked second in Latin America. Brazil has a relatively comprehensive medical device industry, it is less than the number of imported medical equipment in Mexico. Brazilian medical products export growth for three consecutive years, more than 28%, indicating that the country\\ s medical device industry, export-oriented high level.
Chile
Chile\\ s per capita GDP the highest in Latin America (approximately more than 6000 U.S. dollars), so the government for funding for the import of medical products is very abundant. In 2010, the country\\ s health sector totaled $ 453 million of imports of medical equipment and device products, primarily in Latin America are imported medical equipment market.
Columbia
Colombia is the third most populous country in Latin America. The national economic output in 2010 will reach $ 250 billion. But the country\\ s medical device industry level is not high, so the health sector needed to import medical equipment products. Colombia, in 2010 the total imports of medical equipment will amount to $ 620.3 million.
Mexico
Mexico medical equipment market in Latin America called the \"leader.\" Since 2010 the country\\ s medical device market value of $ 2.7 billion, even more than many of its population than Brazil (Note: the Brazilian population of 186 million, and Mexico 106.9 million). The biggest difference between the Department for Mexico medical equipment mainly imported products (mainly the U.S. product), while Brazil is able to achieve self-sufficiency, only CT, MRI and other high-end diagnostic equipment need imported from overseas. As early as ten years ago, Mexico joined NAFTA already, so the United States and Canada, North America, including the production of medical devices can be developed unimpeded access to the Mexican market, resulting in today\\ s medical device market, the Mexican American products dominate the world the situation.
Peru
According to foreign reports, the medical device market in Peru in 2010 the total size of $ 229 million, as eight major Latin American economies, the \"bottom of the country.\" But Peru\\ s medical device market is the fastest growing countries in Latin America market. According to statistics, the import growth rate of the medical device market in Peru has more than 10% for three consecutive years. Because Peru is a major exporter of minerals, so little by the international financial crisis, and its population of 7.6 million fully integrated into the national health insurance, universal health insurance health authorities to implement the country\\ s imports of medical products to expand the foundation.
Venezuela
Venezuela is the main oil-exporting countries in Latin America. As the soaring international oil prices in recent years, the Venezuelan government in the hands hold a lot of petrodollars. It is understood that in 2010, Venezuela imported a total of 7.86 billion dollars in medical devices, the number second only to Mexico. But Venezuela\\ s population is only the latter less than 1 / 3. Thus, if the amount of per capita imports of medical equipment calculated Venezuela ranking Latin American countries should be the first. The future of China\\ s medical device manufacturers should increase the rich Venezuela and other Latin American market development efforts for products to export more to the Latin American market.
Cuba
Cuba\\ s total population currently has 1125 people, many in the Caribbean island nation in the first place. Cuba is a small, but its industrial output value close to Colombia and other South American countries. As has long been subjected to the U.S. economic blockade, Cuba has only primary medical equipment production capacity, most devices still imported from abroad. Cuba and Venezuela and other oil-rich Latin American relationship better. Last year and this year, Venezuela has been for 2 years a lot of oil to Cuba, and Cuban medical products and places to send medical teams, etc. return Venezuela (Cuba\\ s medical standards are high). Because the United States cut off any financial dealings with Cuba, it is necessary Cuba CT, MRI and other high-end equipment, mostly from EU countries. It is estimated that Cuba\\ s medical device market is roughly $ 300 million, of which imports about 20%. As China\\ s friendly country, the Cuban government last year, the Chinese government $ 350 million long-term low-interest loans, part of which is used to pay for imported products of China\\ s medical equipment costs.
According to Datamonitor consulting firm reported that the eight major Latin American economies between 2008 and 2013 the average annual growth rate of medical equipment market will reach 4.6%. To 2013, the eight countries of the medical device market value will reach $ 9.2 billion or higher. In short, Latin American countries are generally good recovery the national economy, the overall upward trend. Latin American market is expected to become China\\ s medical device industry, new export markets, its growth is very broad.
