Shenyang Sixth People’s Hospital is a top-tier provincial and municipal specialized tertiary hospital focusing on infectious diseases, combining medical treatment, research, teaching, and prevention. Established in 1934 and located at 85 Heping South Street, Heping District, Shenyang, the hospital serves as a provincial center for COVID-19 treatment and a leading multidisciplinary clinical hub.
With a campus area of 67,507 m² and a building area of 84,000 m², the hospital operates 1,000 beds and employs 1,395 staff, including 1,167 healthcare professionals and 292 with senior titles. In 2022, the hospital handled over 335,000 outpatient visits, nearly 30,000 discharges, and more than 5,000 surgeries, including minimally invasive procedures.
As the designated provincial COVID-19 treatment center and a leader in complex clinical interventions (ECMO for COVID-19 recovery, stroke thrombectomy, integrative cancer therapy), Shenyang Sixth People’s Hospital required a comprehensive upgrade to its outdated and fragmented clock system to:
Ensure precise, synchronized timing across critical departments (OR, ER, ICU) for accurate emergency records and device coordination.
Simplify maintenance and monitoring of diverse legacy clocks that lacked remote management and caused slow fault response.
Improve electromagnetic interference resistance in sensitive areas such as radiology and ICU.
Provide scalable solutions to accommodate new buildings and future smart hospital integrations.
Shutai implemented a hospital-wide, integrated, high-precision time synchronization system covering 22 key zones, including outpatient, inpatient, surgical, and emergency departments.
Core Timing Layer:
WIP Time Server with rubidium atomic clock module supporting GPS/BeiDou dual-mode timing, achieving ±0.1 ms accuracy as the master time source.
Redundant hot-standby master clocks to guarantee 24/7 uninterrupted operation.
Terminal Display Layer:
Dual-sided clocks installed in corridors and lobbies, IP65-rated, featuring temperature and humidity display, visible up to 150 meters.
Single-sided digital clocks for ORs and pharmacies, ultra-thin, silent, millisecond-level synchronized.
High-performance GPS antennas mounted on rooftops with anti-interference and lightning protection to ensure signal stability even in adverse weather.
Intelligent Management Layer:
Centralized monitoring software managing over 200 terminals, providing real-time status, auto synchronization, fault alerts (device offline, battery issues), and historical logs.
Role-based access for maintenance teams to remotely control display content (e.g., surgery countdowns, emergency notices).
Utilized existing hospital network infrastructure supplemented by POE modules, minimizing disruption to clinical operations.
Applied shielding and filtering solutions in high EMI areas like radiology and ICU, maintaining time errors within ±5 ms.
Delivered targeted training and comprehensive operation manuals, including contingency drills for network outages and local clock holdover.
Achieved whole-hospital time synchronization accuracy ≤10 ms, ensuring complete alignment of emergency records and device timestamps (ECMO, CT scans).
Increased operational efficiency by 60%, with faults detected within 2 minutes and equipment uptime at 99.95%.
Seamlessly integrated with HIS and electronic medical record systems, laying the groundwork for future AI diagnostics and robotic surgery applications in a 5G-enabled smart hospital environment.
"In emergency stroke thrombectomy and multidisciplinary surgeries, synchronized timing is literally a lifeline. Shutai’s system has resolved longstanding challenges and provided a robust foundation for our future smart hospital vision."
