ObjectiveTo analyze the increased risks of nursing due to expansion of ophthalmic day surgery indications, and the countermeasures. MethodsWe collected the information in the last three years from January 2012 to December 2014 in the Department of Ophthalmology, including the number of operations, the proportion of cataract patients, patients aged over 70 and under 12 years old, patients with high-risk fall, the number of general anesthesia operations, adverse events, and the data from the satisfaction survey of the patients. All the data were analyzed by statistical method. ResultsDuring the last three years, the relaxation of ophthalmic day surgery indications led to an increased admission rate of high-risk patients, and caused more nursing risk factors. Through the efforts of prevention and care, during the last three years, there were no adverse events, and patients had a satisfaction rate over 90%. ConclusionAlthough the ophthalmic day surgery indication has been relaxed, through the establishment of nursing risk response system by pre-hospital guidance, admission assessment, peri-operative education and follow-up visit, with the continuous improvement of nursing management system and convenient workflow, we can not only improve the work efficiency, but also ensure nursing safety.
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.
Objective To classify the nursing needs of patients undergoing ophthalmic day surgery, to understand the characteristics and needs of different patient groups, and propose specific nursing strategies to further improve the nursing quality of the ophthalmic day wards. Methods A retrospective review was conducted on all archived electronic medical records of patients in the Ophthalmology Day Ward of Beijing Tongren Hospital affiliated to the Capital Medical University from January to September 2023. Statistical description and cluster analysis were used to analyze and cluster all data. Results A total of 52049 patients were included, with an average age of (57.11±19.61) years. The number of nursing items required was 0 for 3104 patients (5.96%), 1 for 9158 patients (17.59%), 2 for 25428 patients (48.85%), 3 for 8812 patients (16.93%), 4 for 5442 patients (10.46%), and 5-11 for 105 patients (0.20%). The number of patients’ comorbidities was 0 for 38653 patients (74.26%), 1 for 10896 patients (20.93%), 2 for 2449 patients (4.71%), and 3-11 for 51 patients (0.10%). Using the number of comorbidities, total required nursing care items, and age as clustering variables, the 52049 patients were divided into 3 groups: low nursing demand group with 11817 patients (22.70%), medium nursing demand group with 24466 patients (47.01%), and high nursing demand group with 15766 patients (30.29%). The results showed that both patient age and the number of comorbidities were closely related to the number of nursing care items needed. Conclusion Classifying and analyzing the nursing needs of patients undergoing ophthalmic day surgery can help understand the needs of different categories of patients, improve nursing strategies specifically, provide support for further improving the accuracy and quality of ophthalmic day care services, and provide reference for clinical nursing work.
