Description

Founded in 1946, Yuan Hospital (1,504 staff, 25 specialties, 695 beds, teaching hospital), led by OB/GYN Dr. Tsung-Fu Chen, responds to Taiwan's record-low newborn rates and pregnant women's diverse concerns by building a "Line@-centered one-stop pregnancy and childbirth service team." Three innovations: (1) World-first "Sky Emergency"—pregnant women join the "Yuan Pregnancy Family" Line@ group at first prenatal visit, managed by 2 pregnancy case managers and 1 obstetrician for real-time pregnancy, birth, and parenting answers; upgraded version adds mobile video consultation; (2) Customized "Pre-delivery Handover Sheet"—digitized version is fast, complete, and energy-saving; (3) "Digital diagrams" guide labor room and birth supplies. Six features: (1) Multimedia education (in-person, phone, Line@ sky education); (2) Far-reaching fetal guardian—24-hour central wireless fetal monitoring connected to nursing station computers and physicians' phones; (3) Humanized "gentle delivery" with shared decision-making birth plans; (4) Continuous postpartum care; (5) Mother-infant friendly practices (24-hour rooming-in, breastfeeding); (6) Ward security (access cards, infant abduction drills). 11 standardized protocols; Line@ breastfeeding and parenting response rates continuously rising.
