As a methodological tool, evidence-based management can assess the technological advantages and economical value of medical consumables scientifically, and select the most cost-effective products into the hospital access directory with guarantees of the development of clinical disciplines. Now this method has been widely used for consumable access management in our hospital. Policies and processes have been established to normalize the assess, allocation, and usage, and the management mode is transformed from experience-based management into evidence-based management. With clinical nominalism being changed, the method of evidence-based management can be used for every link of comsumble management, to reduce the costs and ensure the safety and quality of medical consumables at the same time, so as to promote the rational cost of medical consumables.
ObjectiveTo construct the terminology standard of hospital quality and safety. MethodsThe draft terminology standard was constructed through group discussions, and the final draft terminology standard was formed after one round of Delphi expert consultation and two rounds of expert consensus meetings. ResultsThe recovery rate of the questionnaire was 100%, and the authority coefficient of experts was 0.87. A total of 15 experts were invited to two rounds of expert consensus meetings. The terminology standard for hospital quality and safety (TCHAS 10-1-1-4—2022) was finally released, including 4 first-level categories, 20 second-level categories, and 370 terms in total. ConclusionThe terminology standard of hospital quality and safety developed in this study is scientific and reliable, which can be used as a tool to assist medical institutions in carrying out standardized management.
Objective To explore the generalizability and implementation effectiveness of standardized clinical pathways of food for special medical purpose (FSMP). Methods From November 10, 2023 to November 30, 2023, a pilot study for the standardized clinical pathway of FSMP in medical institutions was conducted at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital (the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School), Chenzhou First People’s Hospital, and the Second People’s Hospital of Yibin. The hospitalized patients using FSMP in these three hospitals were continuously included to analyze the feasibility and effectiveness of the pathway. Results A total of 99 patients were included. The overall effect evaluation of the pathway showed that the proportion of convenient medical order (96.9%), timely delivery (100.0%), and easy storage (96.9%) were relatively high. The proportion of patients with good compliance was 88.9%, the proportion of patients who achieved treatment goals was 51.5%, and the proportion of patients who suspended the use of FSMP in advance was 19.2%. The incidence of gastrointestinal complications, metabolic complications, and infectious complications in patients were relatively low (<30%), and the median (lower quartile, upper quartile) satisfaction scores for patients, family members, and nurses were all 9.0 (8.0, 10.0) points. There was no statistically significant difference in the process evaluation indicators or satisfaction of FSMP clinical pathways between different prescribing personnel (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the process evaluation indicators or satisfaction of FSMP clinical pathways between different nutritional support methods (P>0.05). Conclusions The FSMP clinical pathway pilot has performed well in terms of convenience, compliance, satisfaction, with a low incidence of complications. The pathway is effective and safe, and can be widely applied.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of airway management drugs on the respiratory function and postoperative recovery of patients who had moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases(COPD) undergoing an open chest surgery. MethodThere were a total of 22 patients suffering from both lung cancer, esophageal cancer or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma and moderate to severe COPD(of which there were 16 males and 6 females; accepting traditional operation 5 cases and minimally-invasive operation 17 cases; lung cancer 16 cases, esophageal cancer 4 cases and gastroesophageal junction carcinoma 2 cases as the observation group). To statistic the respiratory function and arterial blood gas analysis before and after treating with airway management drugs. And compare the postoperative pulmonary complications(PPCs) and hospital-stay with 50 patients who have no COPD(of which there were 34 males and 16 females; accepting traditional operation 17 cases and minimally-invasive operation 33 cases; lung cancer 35 cases, esophageal cancer 11 cases and gastroesophageal junction carcinoma 4 cases as the control group). ResultThere was a statistical difference of forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1), forced vital capacity(FVC) and maximal voluntary ventilation(MVV) after the above treatment by 7 to 10 days and comparing with prior treatment(P<0.05). Partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2) increased with no statistical difference(P>0.05) while PaCO2 decreased with a statistical difference(P<0.05）. Comparing with patients without COPD, the incidences of PPCs and postoperative hospital stay were of no statistical difference(P>0.05). ConclusionPatients with moderate or severe COPD with airway management drugs(antibiotics,glucocorticoids, bronchodilators and phlegm dissolving agent) in perioperative period could improve the respiratory function and operation tolerance effectively, reduce the incidence of PPCs and shorten postoperative hospital stay.
Objective To provide scientific evidence for the establishment of medical specialist system in China by investigating the history, current situation, problems and countermeasures of medical specialties training at home and aboard. Method The principle and theroy of evidence-based medicine were adopted. The information before Dec. 31, 2003 of Pubmed, CBM, official website, some journals, most frequently used search engines and medical monograph were systematically reviewed. Included literatures were assessed and graded according to the pre-defined criterias. Results A total of 1 319 studies (1 298 in English, 21 in Chinese) were included, among which only 6 were related to the classification of medical specialties. Based on the information from official website of USA, Canada, UK, Singapore, Australia and China (including HK and Taiwan), it showed that China has the largest number of medical specialties, followed by that of USA. In China, the number of medical specialties has more than that of the disciplines in clinical field, which was followed by resident training programs. Some specialties were duplicate, or not international standardized. Conclusions The classification of medical specialties should be developed consecutively, which comprehensively considered the international trend, characteristics of doctor training and the current situation. Specialties whose training program are well-established and developed should initiate firstly. Others will be put into practice gradually after being fully exprienced.
ObjectiveTo explore the role of fast-track surgery (FTS) in day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) pain management. MethodsWe used bidirectional cohort study to investigate the patients undergoing day surgery of laparoscopic cholecystectomy admitted into our department. A total of 143 patients between April and September 2014 receiving routine pain management were chosen to be the control group, and 78 patients between October 2014 and January 2015 receiving FTS pain management were regarded as the FTS group. Postoperative pain, early ambulation, influence of pain on the sleep, patients' satisfaction and prolonged hospital stay rate were compared between the two groups. ResultsPain scores of patients in the FTS group 0-0.5, 0.5-6, 6-12, and 12-24 hours after surgery were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The proportion of patients with early postoperative ambulation and patients' satisfaction rate in the FTS group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe FTS pain management model can effectively reduce patients' pain after DLC, accelerate patients' postoperative rehabilitation and increase patients' satisfaction.
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are frequently used in cardiac surgery. A minority of patients assume most of the blood products transfusion during and after cardiac operations. Observational analysis of transfusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery has uniformly demonstrated that RBC transfusion is associated with a significantly increasing risk of all-cause mortality and other serious adverse outcomes. In addition, it is an established fact that such patients can tolerate relatively low hemoglubin (Hb) levels. Consequently, it becomes widely accepted that appropriate limitation of transfusions could confer a substantial benefit to patients and decrease the use of limited resource. As a result, a restrictive threshold for blood transfusion is likely to be favored under most circumstances. However, an increasing amount of data differing from the observational analysis shows that clinical outcomes in patients who received transfusions with restrictive thresholds for Hb level are not superior to those with liberal thresholds. It has created a new uncertainty regarding the use of a restrictive threshold for transfusion during the perioperative period of cardiac surgery.
ObjectiveTo explore the application effect of standardized management on video-electroencephalogram (VEEG) monitoring.MethodsIn January 2018, a multidisciplinary standardized management team composed with doctors, technicians, and nurses was established. The standardized management plan for VEEG monitoring from outpatient, pre-hospital appointment, hospitalization and post-discharge follow-up was developed; the special quilt for epilepsy patients was designed and customized, braided for the patient instead of shaving head, standardized the work flow of the staff, standardized the health education of the patients and their families, and standardized the quality control of the implementation process. The standardized managemen effect carried out from January to December 2018 (after standardized managemen) was compared with the management effect from January to December 2017 (before standardized managemen).ResultsAfter standardized management, the average waiting time of patients decreased from (2.08±1.13) hours to (0.53±0.21) hours, and the average hospitalization days decreased from (6.63±2.54) days to (6.14±2.17) days. The pass rate of patient preparation increased from 63.14% to 90.09%. The capture rate of seizure onset increased from 73.37% to 97.08%. The accuracy of the record increased from 33.12% to 94.10%, the doctor’s satisfaction increased from 76.34±29.53 to 97.99±9.27, and the patient’s satisfaction increased from 90.04±18.97 to 99.03±6.51. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).ConclusionStandardization management is conducive to ensuring the homogeneity of clinical medical care, reducing the average waiting time and the average hospitalization days, improving the capture rate and accuracy of seizures, ensuring the quality of medical care and improving patient’s satisfaction.
Objective To systematically review the effect of mobile phone management applications (APP) on biological and biochemical parameters in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods We electronically searched databases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, WanFang Data, CBM, CNKI for randomized controlled trials compared mobile phone APP as interventions for managing T2DM with traditional methods from inception to September 30th 2016. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 12.0 software. Results A total of 10 studies including 1 030 participants (563 in the App group and 467 in the traditional group) were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the mobile phone app-based interventions group were superior to the control group in HbA1c (MD=–0.43, 95% CI –0.65 to –0.22, P<0.001), systolic blood pressure (MD=–2.53, 95% CI –4.89 to –0.17,P<0.05), triglyceride (SMD=–0.24, 95% CI –0.42 to –0.06,P<0.05) and waist circumference (MD=–1.57, 95% CI –2.65 to –0.48,P<0.05). No significant different were found on any other related results between two groups. Conclusion Mobile phone apps aimed at diabetes management can improve HbA1c, systolic blood pressure, triglyceride, and waist circumference for patients with T2DM. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, the above conclusions are needed more high quality studies to verify.
