The results laying a groundwork for the development of smart hospitals nationwide.

A total of 1,238 hospitals across Vietnam have begun
applying artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies in healthcare
services, laying a groundwork for the development of smart hospitals
nationwide.

The milestone was highlighted at the seminar titled “Digital
Health Transformation and Smart Hospital Development: International Experience
and Implementation in Vietnam,” organized by the Vietnam Medical Informatics
Association on June 18.

Speaking at the event, Associate Professor Dr. Tran Quy
Tuong, President of the Vietnam Medical Informatics Association, said digital
transformation is being accelerated throughout the country’s healthcare system.

According to Mr. Tuong, 1,238 hospitals have started researching
and implementing AI-powered solutions and digital technologies in medical
examination and treatment, hospital management, and clinical decision support.
These applications are helping healthcare providers improve operational
efficiency, enhance service quality, and streamline administrative processes.

The adoption of AI and digital tools is also expected to
reduce workloads for healthcare professionals while improving patient
experiences through faster, more accurate, and more personalized care.

Experts at the seminar noted that the growing use of
advanced technologies represents a critical step toward establishing a
nationwide network of smart hospitals. Such facilities are expected to
integrate digital records, intelligent diagnostics, automated workflows, and
data-driven management systems to deliver more efficient and sustainable
healthcare services.
