Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital Wins Ministerial Award for Outstanding Institutions for Smart Medical Guidance Pilot Project

Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital (Hospital President Han Sung-woo) was recently selected as an excellent institution for the 2025 'Smart Medical Guidance Pilot Project' and received the Minister of Health and Welfare Award.

The emergency medicine department of Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital was honored for its contribution to the establishment of an on-site medical guidance system for resuscitation of cardiac arrest patients through smart medical guidance and the activation of first aid for paramedics.

Since 2015, Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital has been leading the smart medical guidance pilot project of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Smart medical guidance is a system in which a guidance doctor at a base hospital conducts real-time video medical guidance on CPR and professional first aid through a smartphone video call to paramedics at the scene when a cardiac arrest patient occurs. Through this, first aid at the hospital's emergency room level is possible at the site, and through active emergency treatment, it is contributing to improving the survival rate of emergency patients such as cardiac arrest.




Professor Park Joo-ok of the Department of Emergency Medicine said "Smart medical guidance was able to improve the quality of first aid for paramedics, who had many restrictions in the past. I would like to thank local paramedics for their efforts to provide professional treatment at the scene and emergency medical doctors for their active participation in improving pre-hospital resuscitation"We will do our best to build a safer emergency medical system and increase the survival rate of emergency patients in the region in the future."."

Meanwhile, Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital was designated as an emergency medical center in southern Gyeonggi Province last year and plays a pivotal role in the emergency medical system in the region, maintaining the highest grade in the evaluation of emergency medical institutions for 12 consecutive years.
