EMSTF Develops Central Fetal Monitoring System
at the Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital
EMSTF’s
in-house staff have successfully developed a new
central fetal monitoring system, replacing the
hospital's aged system. The new system was designed
to interface with all existing fetal and maternal
monitors, assisting clinical/nursing personnel
to improve fetal birth outcomes.
The tailor-made system has the following distinctive
features:
| (a) |
Different
brands of fetal monitor can be connected to
the new system. |
| |
|
| (b) |
Allowing
patient data to be stored in standard format
in commonly used media,
e.g. CD-ROMs; |
| |
|
| (c) |
Multiple
local or remote users, through commonly available
computer networks, can monitor real-time the
patient parameters such as Uterine Activity,
Maternal and Fetal Heart Rates. |
The
new system has so far received good response from
the client who wrote a letter to recognise our
contribution. Moreover, a prototype of the
new device was demonstrated in the exhibition
of the Customer Service Award held at Central
Library from 20 to 24 Feb 2003. Feedback
from the public was also encouraging.

Under the theme of “Value Creation through Quality”,

with a view to promoting a quality management culture
and providing a forum for the exchange of knowledge
about quality. Having received the Silver Award

Health Sector Division Provides Consultancy Services
to ECRI
By
signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU),
ERCI and our Health Sector Division (HSD) have agreed
to build up a closer and mutually beneficial mode
of cooperation in order to foster both parties’
knowledge about medical equipment and technology.
As part of the cooperation, the Southeast Asia Regional
Office of ECRI commissioned HSD to conduct a consultancy
study on the content of Biomedical Engineering Services
(BES) for applications in Asian hospitals.
Taking up this challenge, HSD started to collect,
examine and discuss the relevant data. Its three
colleagues responsible for the consultancy services
visited Malaysia in late 2002, gaining a deeper
understanding of the design characteristics and
support arrangements of the Hospital Equipment Computerised
Information System (HECS). We view this study as
a valuable experience paving the way for developing
more engineering consultancy services in future.
