中山医科大学肿瘤医院实行电话预约挂号和磁卡自动挂号系统，已于1997年7月初开通试用。此系统的开通，解决了广大肿瘤患者过去为挂上一个专家号而凌晨在门口苦候的困难。该系统与医院的网络相连，数据共享，每天的出诊专家均有号表记录，患者只要拥有一张“挂号健康卡”就可以 The telephone booking registration and magnetic card automatic registration system of the Cancer Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences was launched in early July 1997. The opening of this system has solved the difficulties that the majority of cancer patients had to wait for in the doorway in the past to hang up an expert number. The system is connected to the hospital’s network and data is shared. Each day’s clinician has a record of the number. The patient only needs to have a “registered health card”.
