    Objective This study aims to construct an online triage and registration assistance system based on multi-modal multi-agent collaborative technology. The objective is to address the current inadequacy of intelligence in online hospital triage and registration, thereby enhancing the efficiency of medical resource allocation and improving the patient experience with online appointment scheduling. Methods The system was designed with a hierarchical architecture, comprising an interaction layer, a processing layer (with four collaborating core agents), and a data layer. Four core agents were developed: tool invocation, report parsing, department recommendation, and doctor recommendation. Based respectively on the Doubao series of models and the DeepSeek-R1-671B model, these agents integrate prompt engineering and a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture to enable multi-modal information processing and precise recommendations. A controlled experiment on triage performance, a NASA-TLX workload assessment for triage nurses, and a patient Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey were conducted at a Grade A Tertiary hospital in Guangzhou. Results The system achieved a triage accuracy of 96.67%, an increase of 12.88 percentage points compared to manual triage (83.79%) (P < 0.01). The accuracy for doctor recommendations was 83.33%. Following the system's implementation, the NASA-TLX workload index for triage nurses decreased by 8.32 (P= 0.03), and the patient Net Promoter Score (NPS) increased from 12% to 44%. Conclusion The multi-modal multi-agent triage and registration assistance system developed in this study successfully facilitates the intelligent transformation of online medical triage. Its triage accuracy surpasses that of human, effectively reduces the workload for triage nurses, and enhances the patient experience with online registration. This system offers a viable technical solution for the advancement of smart hospitals.

    The emergence of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offers opportunities in the medical
    field, yet the vast quantities of sensitive data they depend on present significant challenges in data governance and
    patient ethics. This research comprehensively reviews literature from Chinese and English databases including CNKI,
    PubMed, and Web of Science from January 1, 2020, to August 31, 2025. It focuses on the core challenges faced
    by MLLMs in medicine, including data fusion, quality control, transparency, and hallucinations, as well as ethical
    dilemmas such as patient informed consent, privacy protection, and algorithmic bias, and analyzes corresponding
    coping strategies.Research indicates that standardizing and quality-controlling heterogeneous medical data from
    multiple sources presents significant challenges, with data silos being a widespread issue. Multimodal fusion training
    tends to amplify algorithmic biases. The “black-box” decision-making and “hallucination” issues of models undermine
    their credibility. Insufficient patient involvement in governance and ambiguous responsibility delineation pose critical
    challenges, while cross-modal associations heighten privacy leakage risks. To address these challenges, it is imperative
    to establish trustworthy data infrastructure, implement multi-stakeholder collaborative governance and accountability
    mechanisms, promote explainable AI, and integrate privacy-enhancing technologies with dynamic informed consent
    mechanisms to safeguard patient rights. This will foster a healthy ecosystem for MLLMs centered on patients, supported
    by technology, and guided by ethical principles.

    Objective To address the challenges of semantic omissions, complex linguistic structures, and terminological heterogeneity in multi-center integrated Chinese-Western medicine electronic medical record (EMR), this study aimed to construct a DeepSeek-based automated normalization framework to efficiently process large- scale heterogeneous data and the associated complex linguistic phenomena. Methods The DeepSeek large language model was employed via its API in combination with modular prompt engineering. The framework performed explicit completion of key semantic components, ambiguity resolution and sentence restructuring, as well as multi- center clinical terminology alignment on raw heterogeneous EMR texts, thereby enabling their transformation into normalized data that were semantically clear, structurally unified, and annotation-friendly. In addition, targeted content validation was conducted in collaboration with medical experts, and the model outputs were subjected to sampling- based review and accuracy evaluation. Results Under zero-shot conditions, DeepSeek-R1 achieved 86% average accuracy in standardizing knee osteoarthritis (KOA) EHRs from three hospitals. The  "LLM-led standardization with human evaluation"  paradigm significantly reduced manual effort while improving efficiency and quality, demonstrating robust capabilities in semantic understanding and reasoning. Conclusion This framework generates high-quality standardized data, establishing a solid foundation for downstream structured annotation and knowledge extraction, and thereby supporting the construction of high-precision, disease-specific knowledge graphs for integrated Chinese- Western medicine.

    Combining domestic research cases and practical experience, this study employs literature analysis,
    on-site surveys, and key informant interviews to analyze the current state of medical health data trading. It outlines
    critical stages in the entire process, identifies existing issues, and proposes practical strategies for advancement, aiming
    to promote compliant and efficient circulation of medical health data. Currently, China's medical health data trading
    is gradually forming a development pattern dominated by exchange trading, focused on application scenarios, and
    prioritizing compliance. Pilot regions such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guiyang have taken the lead in practical
    exploration, accumulating valuable operational experience in core areas like valuation pricing, data rights confirmation,
    and matching supply-demand pairs, laying the foundation for industry standardization. However, challenges persist,
    including inconsistent data standard systems, imperfect market-based pricing mechanisms, prominent risks of data
    security and privacy breaches, and a shortage of professional, interdisciplinary talent, all of which hinder industry
    efficiency improvements. To address these shortcomings, the study proposes optimization pathways across multiple
    dimensions—enhancing industry standardization, refining value assessment and pricing mechanisms, regulating revenue
    distribution rules, strengthening data security technical safeguards, and cultivating professional talent pools. These
    measures provide actionable practical references and development guidance for hospitals to conduct standardized data

    The resource scheduling problem of hospital information systems (HIS) exhibits NP-hard complexity with multiple constraints and objectives, where traditional scheduling methods struggle to meet real-time and optimization requirements. To address the limitations of classical ant colony optimization (ACO), such as slow convergence and proneness to local optima, an improved ACO with an adaptive pheromone management mechanism is proposed. This algorithm integrates a dynamic evaporation coefficient adjustment strategy driven by resource utilization, constructs a multi-objective Pareto optimal search mechanism, and incorporates multi-dimensional heuristic information tailored to hospital business characteristics. Implemented based on a distributed architecture, it achieves standardized integration with HIS. Experimental results demonstrate that compared with traditional methods, the improved algorithm increases convergence speed by 37.9% and resource utilization by 20.5%, while reducing patient waiting time by 33.6%, verifying its effectiveness and practicality.

    Objective To address the inefficiency faced by clinicians in selecting appropriate referral destinations due to high workload, this study aims to design and validate a referral institution recommendation system based on multi-agent collaboration, integrating a two-tower model and a large language model. Methods Utilizing a multi-agent architecture, the system's functions were encapsulated into four agents: perception & preprocessing, two-tower retrieval, deep reasoning, and resource allocation. The core of the system synergized the efficient vector retrieval capability of a two-tower model with the deep semantic reasoning of the DeepSeek-V3 large language model, enabling a "coarse- to-fine" collaborative recommendation process for candidate institutions. Leveraging 13 245 patient records from a tertiary hospital, a final dataset of 1 155 real-world cases with explicit "discharge by physician's advice for transfer" records was constructed after rigorous screening for model training and validation. Recommendation performance was evaluated using metrics including Hit@K, MRR, and NDCG. System response time and robustness were also tested. Results On the test set comprising 10 medical consortium institutions, the system achieved Hit@1, Hit@3, and Hit@5 of 62.9%, 85.3%, and 93.1%, respectively, with an MRR of 0.714 and an NDCG@3 of 0.653. The average end-to-end response time was 53.2 ms. When 30% of structured test indicators or unstructured text fields were randomly masked, Hit@3 decreased marginally by only 0.9 and 2.9 percentage points, demonstrating strong robustness. Conclusion The proposed system delivers accurate, interpretable, and rapid recommendations for referral institutions, effectively narrowing clinicians' decision-making scope and offering a viable technological approach to alleviate the burden associated with the referral process.

    Objective To address the code management challenges brought about by the increasing complexity of hospital software systems, and to solve the problems of missing version control, low efficiency in collaborative development, and potential security risks in code storage under the traditional model, a hospital software code management platform that meets the requirements of information innovation should be constructed to achieve standardized management of source code. Methods By analyzing the current state of hospital code management and the adaptation needs for information innovation, a platform architecture centered on containerization technology is proposed. The platform integrates four major functional modules: code hosting, version control, collaborative development, and security auditing. It utilizes domestically produced information innovation ecosystem components to achieve software and hardware adaptation, and ensures the security of the code throughout its lifecycle through a multi-layered security protection mechanism. Results After the platform was deployed in a hospital, the code version conflict rate decreased by 68%, collaborative development efficiency improved by 55%, and the compliance rate of core business system code reached 100%. The security protection system successfully prevented the risks of source code leakage and tampering, demonstrating its technical feasibility and practicality. Conclusion The code management platform based on the information innovation environment effectively addresses the issues of standardization, security, and collaboration in code management during the hospital's informatization process, providing an independently controllable solution for the medical industry. This platform not only significantly enhances the efficiency of code management and the ability to ensure information security, but also offers reusable practical experience for the industry's information innovation transformation and sustainable development.
