Changhua Christian Hospital: Pioneering cancer care through digital innovation
Success story
Changhua Christian Hospital
The only medical center in Changhua County, Taiwan
1,294,161 visits in 2023
1,434 beds
Employs 5,100 people
Created 10 sub-specialty tumor boards
The annual number of new cancer patients is 5,100
Challenge
The oncology department is a bustling hub of activity, seeing over 5,100 new patients yearly – roughly 425 cases each month. The complexity and high volume of cases presented significant challenges. Tumor board preparations, discussions and documentation were labor-intensive, taking precious time from the dedicated staff and specialists. Coordinating care for around 800 new head and neck cancer cases annually with just two case managers and limited weekly tumor board meetings highlighted the pressing need for an innovative solution.
