Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical practice has reached a new milestone in China, with the deployment of DeepSeek across nearly 90 tertiary hospitals. This large-scale adoption represents a significant shift in how AI is utilized beyond diagnostic assistance, extending into hospital administration, research facilitation, and patient management. Notably, DeepSeek's AI-powered systems have demonstrated transformative effects, such as a 40-fold increase in efficiency for patient follow-ups. Our comment explores the implications of DeepSeek's expansion within China's healthcare landscape, situating it within broader national policies promoting AI-driven hospital digitalization. We discuss how hospitals are leveraging DeepSeek, Notably, DeepSeek's role in imaging analysis, clinical decision support, and administrative automation. We also address the ongoing challenges of AI integration. As China accelerates its transition toward "smart hospitals," the widespread adoption of AI like DeepSeek offers a compelling case study on the future of digital health in large-scale healthcare systems.

DeepSeek在中国90家三级医院的部署：人工智能如何改变临床实践。

随着DeepSeek在近90家三级医院的部署，人工智能（AI）与临床实践的整合在中国达到了一个新的里程碑。这种大规模采用代表了人工智能在诊断辅助之外的应用方式的重大转变，扩展到医院管理、促进研究和患者管理。值得注意的是，DeepSeek的人工智能系统已经显示出变革性的影响，比如患者随访效率提高了40倍。我们的评论探讨了DeepSeek在中国医疗保健领域扩张的影响，将其置于促进人工智能驱动的医院数字化的更广泛的国家政策中。我们讨论了医院如何利用DeepSeek，特别是DeepSeek在成像分析、临床决策支持和管理自动化方面的作用。我们还解决了人工智能集成的持续挑战。随着中国加速向“智能医院”转型，像DeepSeek这样的人工智能的广泛采用，为大规模医疗保健系统中数字健康的未来提供了一个引人注目的案例研究。

期刊介绍： Journal of Medical Systems provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of the increasingly extensive applications of new systems techniques and methods in hospital clinic and physician''s office administration; pathology radiology and pharmaceutical delivery systems; medical records storage and retrieval; and ancillary patient-support systems. The journal publishes informative articles essays and studies across the entire scale of medical systems from large hospital programs to novel small-scale medical services. Education is an integral part of this amalgamation of sciences and selected articles are published in this area. Since existing medical systems are constantly being modified to fit particular circumstances and to solve specific problems the journal includes a special section devoted to status reports on current installations.
