          Abstract

          With the application of Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and other cutting-edge technologies, China's medical informatization is developing rapidly. In this paper, we summaried the role of information technology in healthcare sector's battle against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from the perspectives of early warning and monitoring, screening and diagnosis, medical treatment and scientific research, analyzes the bottlenecks of the development of information technology in the post-COVID-19 era, and puts forward feasible suggestions for further promoting the construction of medical informatization from the perspectives of sharing, convenience, and safety.

              COVID-19 and healthcare system in China: challenges and progression for a sustainable future

              With the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, healthcare systems across the world have been pushed to the brink. The approach of traditional healthcare systems to disaster preparedness and prevention has demonstrated intrinsic problems, such as failure to detect early the spread of the virus, public hospitals being overwhelmed, a dire shortage of personal protective equipment, and exhaustion of healthcare workers. Consequently, this situation resulted in manpower and resource costs, leading to the widespread and exponential rise of infected cases at the early stage of the epidemic. To limit the spread of infection, the Chinese government adopted innovative, specialized, and advanced systems, including empowered Fangcang and Internet hospitals, as well as high technologies such as 5G, big data analysis, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. The efficient use of these new forces helped China win its fight against the virus. As the rampant spread of the virus continues outside China, these new forces need to be integrated into the global healthcare system to combat the disease. Global healthcare system integrated with new forces is essential not only for COVID-19 but also for unknown infections in the future.
