CUHK Medical Centre Limited is a non-profit teaching hospital at Ma Liu Shui, New Territories, Hong Kong, next to University station.
[1] In his 2008 Policy Address, Chief Executive Donald Tsang announced that the Hong Kong government was identifying sites for new private hospitals.
[2] In December 2009, the government invited expressions of interest in the development of private hospitals on sites in Wong Chuk Hang, Tseung Kwan O, Tai Po, and Lantau Island.
[4] The university subsequently developed a proposal, but announced in 2012 that it had decided not to tender for the project as consensus could not be reached on the "details of collaboration with the potential partner".
On 21 August 2014, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust donated HK$1.3 billion to support the construction of the hospital.
The hospital site was created in the early 1980s as part of a land reclamation project that made space for construction of the Tolo Highway.
The hospital is pursuing this goal in three aspects: an electronic medical record system, a one-stop service platform, and the use of the Internet of Things to improve efficiency.
In terms of the Internet of Things, CUHK Hospital applies information technology - including wireless networks, radio frequency identification (RFID), and Bluetooth - to medical operations, automating the hospital’s operational processes in order to reduce human error and facilitate communication between medical staff and patients.
