Driving digital services to enhance patient outcomes.

Located in the province of Shandong, China and founded in 1890, Shandong University Qilu Hospital (QLH) is a 5,000-bed hospital system with in- and out-patient facilities in the cities of Jinan and Qingdao. With an objective to become a world-renowned center for medical research, QLH employs more than 10,000 people and operates a wide range of departments, including cardiology, hematology, neurosurgery, and pediatrics.

Like many leading healthcare providers, QLH has long embraced data-driven systems to augment its approach to patient care. As well as using a health information system (HIS) to efficiently and securely manage patient data, the organization relies on its laboratory information system (LIS) to rapidly process and deliver test results to its physicians. In addition, QLH uses its picture archiving and communication system (PACS) to process and display the massive volumes of data created by imaging modalities such as X-ray and MRI scanners.
