The North Lantau Hospital Infection Control Center, a temporary hospital built to treat patients with new coronary pneumonia, will open its first phase at the end of this month.
The Chief Administrative Manager (Planning and Development) of the Kowloon West Hospital Network, Zeng Zichong, said that the hospital has added smart medical technology elements. Patients who are free to move can measure the survival index by themselves, doctors can conduct consultations remotely, and the medical information system can display patient information at any time .
Senior Administrative Manager (Basic Engineering) Zhai Rongbang of the Hospital Authority said that it took 120 days to complete the temporary hospital project.
The assembled modules are made of rust-proof iron, half-concrete, half-iron, and full-concrete. "It takes 10 to 20 years without problems." The HA has no plans to dismantle the temporary hospital after the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and does not rule out the future Used to receive other infectious patients.
4000 workers are divided into three shifts and built 24 hours a day
The North Lantau Hospital Infection Control Center has six two-storey ward buildings, five of which have 24 negative pressure six-person wards and one has 16 negative pressure six-person wards, which can accommodate a total of 816 patients.
The two-story medical building has laboratories that can directly test patients, as well as a pharmacy, employee locker room, storage room, and employee lounge.
Zhai Rongbang, Senior Administrative Manager (Basic Engineering) of the Hospital Authority, said that more than 4,000 workers took 120 days to complete the project. They started on September 23 and completed the project on January 21.
"It is to help emergency hospitals, so we must be fast." Workers need to work 24 hours a day in three shifts, each with more than a thousand people working 8 hours.
The Hospital Authority will use laboratories and machines on the 17th of this month, and the first 48 beds on the 26th. The goal is to prepare all the beds on March 31 and use them as needed by the epidemic.

Medical staff and patients enter and exit the ward from different entrances and exits
Chief Administrative Manager (Planning and Development) of the Kowloon West Hospital Cluster, Zeng Zichong, said that the design concept of the ward is to separate doctors and patients.
Medical staff and medical supplies will enter the ward from the Clean Zone on the right, while patients and used medical supplies will enter and exit the ward from the Dirty Zone (infected zone) on the left to achieve infection control.
There are two nurse stations in each ward to facilitate medical care to monitor patients.
If the patient's condition is more serious, he will be placed in a ward near the nurse's station.
Like the Yabo community legal treatment facility, the temporary hospital has also added smart medical technology elements to serve patients aged 16 to 65.
Patients who are able to move freely and are not seriously ill can go to the "Smart Body Check Service Station" to measure their blood pressure, pulse, blood oxygen content and body temperature.
The relevant data will be automatically transferred to the medical information system.
Medical staff will use Telehealth remote communication system to diagnose and keep in touch with patients.
The display board at the head of each bed and the outdoor patient information electronic report board can display patient information, including the vitality index, drug sensitivity, whether to eat and fall out of bed, etc.
In addition, the building information simulation (BIM) technology can “see through” the pipe conditions in the temporary hospital through the wall, and engineers can check and repair them immediately if they find something wrong.

Temporary hospital components can be used for up to 20 years
The temporary hospital is assembled in modular units. Zhai Rongbang said that the modules can be divided into three types, including anti-rust iron, half concrete, half iron and full concrete. If checked every few years, it can be used for a long time. There will be no problems for 10 to 20 years.” He also said that the HA has no plan to dismantle the temporary hospital after the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and does not rule out its use for receiving other infectious patients in the future.
