Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital launches a nursing professional book series according to US standards
In a celebratory atmosphere marking the 30th anniversary, on October 16/2024, at Hall 3A, Floor 3, Zone A, Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital (BV ĐHYD) collaborated with the Vietnam Nursing Leaders Club to organize the event “Knowledge Standards – Digital Pioneering”, a program that attracted more than 350 healthcare staff from medical agencies. Here, the Hospital proudly launched the Nursing Professional Documentation Series comprising 7 volumes, ranging from basic procedures to specialties and intensive nursing care according to US standards. This is a meticulous work by the BV ĐHYD Nursing team, aiming to provide updated knowledge and standardized procedures in nursing practice.
This Documentation Series was compiled by an experienced and highly specialized nursing team, providing updated knowledge and standardized procedures in nursing practice.
Within the series of events, BV ĐHYD organized a scientific conference with the theme “The Digitalization Journey of Electronic Medical Records: The Role and Experience of UMC Nursing”. The conference took place, following the launch ceremony of the Nursing Professional Documentation Package, creating a vibrant and meaningful atmosphere for the nursing community in particular and healthcare staff in Vietnam. The program attracted a large number of participants, including experts, doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers from across the country. This is a valuable opportunity for delegates to share, discuss, and learn about the application of standardized practice procedures that have been digitized into daily nursing care. Consequently, it not only enhances the effectiveness of patient care performed by nurses but also contributes to improving the quality of health care for the public.
The topic of electronic medical record digitization is now becoming an important trend in the global healthcare industry. At the conference, the speakers emphasized the essential role of nursing in this process. Nurses are not only caregivers but also pioneers in adopting new technologies, contributing positively to improving the quality of healthcare services. Practical experiences from implementing electronic medical records at BV ĐHYD were shared, painting a clear picture of the benefits and challenges the healthcare sector faces in the digital transformation journey. In addition to sharing knowledge, the conference also organized experiential activities, allowing delegates to directly experience and operate on a sample electronic medical record. This not only helps them better understand how the system works, but also feel the improvements that digital technology brings to patient care. Opinions and feedback from the delegates showed a high consensus on the feasibility and benefits of digitizing electronic medical records in healthcare.
The event is also part of BV ĐHYD's commitment to promote the development of Vietnam's healthcare sector. By launching the professional nursing documents and organizing a scientific conference, the hospital affirms its leading role in improving the quality of medical services, aiming for a more modern and efficient healthcare system. BV ĐHYD hopes that through these activities, not only will it enhance the knowledge and skills of the nursing team, but also motivate the entire healthcare industry to move toward comprehensive digitalization, improve the quality of healthcare for the people, and contribute to building a sustainable medical future in Vietnam.
