A county-township-village medical network allows for the efficient flow and sharing of medical data, while AI aids in diagnosis and strengthens coordination between different levels within hospitals. Meanwhile, digital technology simplifies the referral process, enhancing the efficiency of medical services.

Patients are now seeing reduced wait times thanks to smart services like self-service devices and multiple payment options. Patients with chronic diseases are benefiting from digital health management, enjoying a "personal health butler" service that offers better healthcare.

A county-level medical data center now integrates information platforms across the county, township, and village levels, promoting information exchange and resource sharing. Meanwhile, digital technology makes resource allocation more efficient and significantly enhances the capacity of grassroots medical services.

The smart digital transformation currently underway in Qingzhen breaks down data barriers, reshapes doctor-patient interactions, and improves decision-making, allowing more people to enjoy high-quality healthcare services.
