Social Evaluation is an important reference to guide the reform and development of a public hospital. In view of the patient, hospital stakeholders and the public, West China Hospital of Sichuan University creatively constructed a social evaluation system, including patient satisfaction degree, expert appraisal and online public comment, in order to maintain a good medical environment. After several years of construction and application, the system has been quite effective in promote the development of the hospital. In the assessment of patients' satisfaction degree toward the hospital, we made a great improvement.
ObjectiveTo analyze the application of visual management in foreign medical service management, and to provide a reference for lean medical management practice in China.MethodsUsing “visual management” and “visual tool” as the search terms, we searched PubMed, Web of Science, Springer Link, ScienceDirect, to retrieve relevant literature on the application of visual management tools to improve medical services in foreign countries. The number of published articles, journals, improvement objectives, measures and effects were analyzed descriptively.ResultsA total of 534 articles were retrieved. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 7 articles were finally included, all of which were published in SCI journals, of which the number of articles in the United States was the highest (5 articles). Among the 7 included articles, 3 articles used face cards, 2 articles used whiteboards, 1 article used electronic Kanban, and 1 article used discharge “traffic lights”. Five articles studied the improvement of doctor-patient communication, and two studied the improvement of bed turnover rate. In the included articles, the contents of visualization mainly include the nursing goals of the inpatient, inspection plan, turnover, discharge plan, and the names and roles of medical staff.ConclusionsVisual management tools have a significant effect on promoting doctor-patient communication and improving hospital bed turnover. The application of foreign visual management tools in wards is relatively mature, and used more in promoting doctor-patient communication. Visual management tools are constantly updated, and electronic tools may gradually become a trend in the future.
Objective To compare and analyze hospital operation and management models between China and foreign countries, in order to provide reference and guidance for the continuous improvement of hospital management in China. Methods The NVivo software was used to conduct a qualitative comparative analysis of domestic and foreign literature on hospital operation and management models in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Web of Science, and PubMed until December 2022, and a model for the differences in operation and management between Chinese and foreign hospitals was further constructed. Results Finally, 33 Chinese literature and 21 English literature were selected as the raw materials for NVivo qualitative analysis. A comparative analysis of the operation and management models of Chinese and foreign hospitals from four dimensions: structure, process, results, and continuous improvement showed that there were differences in operation and management systems, talents, processes, finance, refinement, and innovation between Chinese and foreign hospitals. Conclusion Hospital operation and management needs to be deeply integrated with business work, improve the construction of hospital operation and management system, strengthen the competence of operation talents, pay attention to resource cost-benefit analysis, attach importance to the two-way integration of business and finance, optimize the adjustment of operation and management structure, and attach importance to the innovation drive of new technology application, in order to promote the scientific, standardized, refined, and informationalized level of hospital operation and management.
Due to optimizing medical service resources and improving service efficiency, day surgery has attracted the attention of medical and management experts worldwide. In 2019, day surgery was included as one of the performance assessment indicators of tertiary public hospitals. In recent years, hospital-based day surgery centers have begun to plan and build. Although the basic facilities have been perfectly improved, but how to efficiently and safely operate and manage the centralized day surgery has become the primary problem to clinicians and managers. The purpose of this paper is to introduce how the Day Surgery Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University uses scientific management tools and establishes a professional multidisciplinary team, so as to carry out efficient operation management and control of medical quality and safety risks of the Day Surgery Center. And then provide practical experience guidance and suggestions with strong feasibility and operability for peers.
Through reviewing the implementation of outpatient appointment services around the whole country, the problems of current outpatient appointment services were analyzed, which included imperfect information platform, low rate of medical experts’ visit on schedule, high rate of breaking the appointment by outpatients, and the new inequity caused by opaque information on the outpatient appointment service. The strategies were put forward to address the problems, including the integration of different social resources, cooperation and sharing, enhancing supervision to increase experts’ visit rate, establishing a new model for outpatient appointment service to decrease the breaking of appointment, and opening information to ensure the fair and impartial appointment.
Objectives To evaluate the research status of hospital management in foreign countries using bibliometric analysis, in order to provide reference for domestic hospital management. Methods The Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched for hospital management related studies from inception to May 30th, 2017. The publication date, document type, country, affiliation, publication distribution, citation, and co-authorship of included studies were analyzed. Results During the past 20 years, the amount of hospital management related studies presented an increased trend, and original article was the major article type. The USA, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, Austria, Italy, Spain and Canada were ranked as the top ten countries that had published the most related studies. Moreover, most of the affiliations which published the related studies were from the USA, UK and France. The results of co-authorship analysis indicated that some researchers existed close co-authorships. Conclusions Developed countries have better researches on hospital management and can provide a good reference for domestic researchers.
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.
目的 通过应用数据包络分析（DEA）方法对医院科室运营效率进行评价，分析DEA方法在医院临床科室相对效率评价中的价值。 方法 采用聚类分析等确定投入产出指标，采用DEA方法中C2R和BC2模型对2004年1月－2008年12月各科室相对效率进行评价和分析。 结果 70个被评价单元中有41个被评价单元的总体有效值为1，属于相对有效单元；29个被评价单元的C2R模型总体有效值＜1，属于相对无效单元。 结论 DEA方法适用临床科室相对效率评价多投入、多产出的特点，能够有效识别被评价单位中的无效单元，并且对于投入产出值能够指明导致无效的方向和需调整的程度，指导相关管理部门对科室的调整和资源投入方向。
