Jiangmen Xinhui District People's Hospital, established in December 1949 and overseen by the Xinhui District Health Bureau and local government, is a public tertiary comprehensive hospital affiliated since 2008 with Southern Medical University. The hospital integrates medical treatment, prevention, rehabilitation, teaching, and research.
Covering a campus of 133,200 m² with 98,900 m² of building space, the hospital employs 1,403 staff (827 on payroll, 576 contractual), including 267 senior professionals and 29 with master's degrees or higher. It has 1,100 beds and over 40 clinical and technical departments. Cardiovascular medicine, neurosurgery, general surgery, and clinical nursing are Jiangmen’s key specialties, while cardiovascular medicine, general surgery, orthopedics, and hand surgery are highlighted in Xinhui District. In 2022, the hospital handled over 1.01 million outpatient and emergency visits, with 36,900 discharges.
As a regional medical center managing critical care units such as chest pain and stroke centers, the hospital faces stringent requirements for time accuracy in clinical workflows. Key challenges included:
Time discrepancies affecting diagnosis and treatment: Up to 2–3 minute differences between operating rooms and emergency departments, disrupting multi-department coordination.
Complex equipment management: Over 500 medical devices, including diagnostic instruments and anesthesia machines, required manual time calibration daily, consuming 1.5 hours of staff time.
Emergency response bottlenecks: Time errors risked exceeding the “door-to-balloon” interval critical in chest pain center emergency protocols.
Teaching and research demands: Clinical training and data collection required millisecond-level timestamp accuracy.
Shutai delivered a comprehensive, hospital-wide satellite time synchronization solution comprising:
BeiDou/GPS dual-mode master clock: Receives satellite signals to generate a hospital-standard time base with ±0.01-second/day precision.
NTP time server cluster: Provides network-based time distribution to over 2,000 terminals, including HIS, laboratory instruments, and security systems.
Customized medical terminals:
Surgical countdown and count-up clocks for operating rooms.
Nurse station combined temperature and humidity clocks.
Double-sided digital clocks installed in corridors.
Precise synchronization across all scenarios: Achieved millisecond-level time unification across 40 clinical and 9 major medical technical departments, improving chest pain center emergency response efficiency by 12%.
Smart operational management: Reduced daily device calibration time from 90 to 15 minutes, saving 80% in labor costs.
Energy consumption optimization: Intelligent brightness adjustment decreased overall clock system power usage by 25%.
Changsha Shutai Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in high-end satellite navigation timing applications, developing and supplying reliable time-frequency products and services.
