Construction and practice of multi-disciplinary team information management system in the hospital / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Multi-disciplinary team(MDT) is a new mode of medical diagnosis and treatment service. Multidisciplinary discussion could provide patients with a scientific, standardized and effective individualized diagnosis and treatment plan to avoid over-treatment. This article is based on the application experience of the MDT information management platform designed by the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University during the past five years. It discussed how to build a MDT management system which could fit the medical environment of large general hospitals in China. The MDT management system simplifies the MDT process, improves the efficiency of MDT work, and enhances the overall medical quality of hospitals. Meanwhile, it also contributes to strengthen the disciplinary collaboration in such aspects as disease diagnosis and treatment, personnel training, and scientific research innovation, ultimately forming a new multi-disciplinary collaboration system in hospitals.
