“Smart hospitals” is a major trend in the development of medical institutions. Recently, this policy has been frequently mentioned by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, which has activated the always quiet medical Internet of Things market. In particular, the “National Standards and Standards for Hospital Informatization Construction (Trial)” formulated in April 2018, policy dividends have brought significant benefits to the industry.
Profitability is the key to assessing the track. Recently, relevant policy documents were issued, and the hospital’s repayment cycle to suppliers was shortened to three months, which improved the charging method and raised the ceiling.
At present, Lianxin products have been applied in more than 700 hospitals across the country, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Peking University First Hospital, Zhengzhou University First Affiliated Hospital, Shanghai Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Fushan University Affiliated Huashan Hospital, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and many other top three hospitals.
This track is not an emerging industry. Many of the leading companies have a business history of 20-30 years, and many of them have already been listed. The advancement of science and technology and the encouragement of policies have brought new opportunities to this “old” industry. The top companies in the industry are Lianxin, Anke, Honeywell, Lianzhong Wisdom, Medical Technology, etc.
