This article elaborates the concept, meaning and role of clinical pathway, discusses development stages and implementation effects of clinical pathway at home and abroad, and proposes that clinical pathway has been developed very well abroad, but it still has many problems in domestic gtowth which needs to be put into effect with Single-DRGs system in combination.
Objective To evaluate the implementation effects and problems about quota payment of specific diseases for hyperplasia prostate and ureteral calculi in Chengdu. Methods Payments, man-time of operation, and the lengths of hospitalization of hyperplasia prostate and ureteral calculi as quota payment of specific diseases in Chengdu from 2013 to 2015 were analyzed by using SPSS 16.0 software. Results Based on the standards of medical expense limitation in Chengdu unchanged, tertiary and secondary hospitals remained surplus with quota standards of single diseases unchanged. The average lengths of hospitalization of hyperplasia prostate and ureteral calculi in tertiary and secondary hospitals were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of quota payment policy for single disease in Chengdu city of Sichuan province has been proved to work on controlling the medical expense of treating hyperplasia prostate and ureteral calculi. Our results indicate the continuous implementation of quota payment policy. However, the exploration of proper payment standardization, enhance of hospital supervision and establishment of efficient system are still needed to define.
Objective To summarize the role and implementation effect of risk management in Ophthalmic Day Surgery Center. Methods Since the establishment of Ophthalmic Day Surgery Center on October 8th, 2012, risk management was implemented in the aspects of hardware management, post setting, file management, operating process, service, etc., and the adverse events occurred in the period were analyzed to find out the defectiveness and hidden dangers in the working process, and then refined intervention measures were put forward and carried out. The surgical amount, occurrence of nosocomial infections and nursing adverse events, and patients satisfaction from October 8th, 2012 to June 30th, 2015 were analyzed. Results During this period, 52 073 ambulatory operations were completed, with no nosocomial infection and 2 cases of nursing adverse events. The patients satisfaction in 2013, 2014, and 2015 was 98.09%, 98.22%, and 99.85%, respectively. Conclusion The implementation of risk management in Ophthalmic Day Surgery Center can effectively reduce the occurrence of adverse events in nursing work, improve work efficiency, help to establish and improve the nursing security environment, improve the nurse-patient relationship, and improve patients satisfaction.
ObjectiveTo summarize the evaluation tools for the implementation effect of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), to inform and support the evidence-based development of a general tool for the evaluation of implementation effect of CPGs. MethodsSeven biomedical literature databases, including PubMed, Embase and CNKI, and two academic websites, were searched from establishment to June 2022. Theoretical and empirical research on the evaluation tools of the implementation effect of CPGs were included. Two researchers independently screened literature and extracted data according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the Implementation Science RE-AIM theoretical framework, an evaluation framework and a list of alternative items of the implementation effect of the CPGs were initially drawn up by thematic synthesis methods. ResultsA total of 208 articles were included, and 8 mature evaluation tools related to the implementation effect of guidelines were selected. Current research on the evaluation of the implementation effect of CPGs mainly focused on single diseases, with concern of the cognition, attitude and compliance of users to CPGs, and the process of the implementation of CPGs and factors affecting the implementation effect of CPGs. There were limitations such as a lack of evaluation on the terminal effect of the implementation of CPGs, the rare use of mature theoretical frameworks, the use of single evaluation perspectives, and inclusion of limited evaluation dimensions. The initial proposed evaluation framework contains a list of alternative items with 6 primary indicators, 12 secondary indicators and 41 tertiary indicators. ConclusionCurrently, there is a lack of a comprehensive, multi-perspective, mature theory based, general tool for the evaluation of implementation effect of CPGs. The framework and the list of alternative items for the evaluation of implementation effect of CPGs based on the implementation science RE-AIM theory can inform and support the development of a tool for the evaluation of implementation effect of CPGs.
