Although the ambulatory surgery started late in France, it has a unique set of definitions and criteria for defining the scope. In France, the time required for ambulatory surgery is more stringent, and the ambulatory surgery center is open for no more than 12 hours to control the total length of treatment. The patients should enter the ambulatory surgery center in the morning and leave it before the end of afternoon. The development of ambulatory surgery in France is stable and continuous. This article introduces the development of French ambulatory surgery from the origin, development and future of French ambulatory surgery, organizational management and clinical path, in order to promote the standardization of Chinese ambulatory surgery management.
Objective To analyze the hospitalization expenses and structure of day surgery diseases between general hospital and traditional Chinese medicine hospital, so as to provide a basis for the reform policy formulation of the payment mode of traditional Chinese medicine medical insurance and the optimization of hospital management. Methods Relevant data such as hospitalization expenses and expenses structure of day surgery of one general hospital and one traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Shanghai between January 1, 2019 and June 30, 2022 were selected. The hospitalization expenses and expenses structure of day surgery in traditional Chinese medicine hospital and general hospital were analyzed. Results A total of 95232 day surgery cases were selected in the case hospitals, including 1389 cases in traditional Chinese medicine hospital and 93843 cases in general hospital. The age of day surgery patients in traditional Chinese medicine hospital was smaller than that in general hospital (P<0.001). The total hospitalization expenses [4379.6 (2293.2, 7563.4) vs. 7629.5 (4467.5, 14154.0) yuan], drug expenses [343.0 (65.0, 1107.0) vs. 749.0 (64.0, 1419.0) yuan], consumables expenses [858.8 (162.2, 1630.1) vs. 1951.0 (620.1, 5720.7) yuan], technical labor expenses [1994.8 (1116.8, 3252.4) vs. 3943.3 (2510.8, 6123.4) yuan] of day surgery patients in traditional Chinese medicine hospital were lower than those of patients in general hospital (P<0.001), and the examination expenses were higher than those of patients in general hospital [432.0 (0.0, 898.5) vs. 40.0 (0.0, 418.0) yuan, P<0.001]. In terms of the total hospitalization expenses structure of patients undergoing day surgery, the proportion of technical labor expenses in traditional Chinese medicine hospital was the highest (42.5%), and the proportion of consumables expenses in general hospital was the highest (43.7%). The specialty of day surgery in the traditional Chinese medicine hospital mainly focused on gynecology, general surgery, anorectal surgery and pain medicine, with the highest average expenses in ophthalmology. The specialty of day surgery in the general hospital mainly focused on urology, biliary, pancreatic and gastrointestinal surgery, ophthalmology and gynecolog, with the highest average expenses in orthopedics. There was no statistically significant difference between the age of patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy in traditional Chinese medicine hospital and that in general hospital (P>0.05). The total hospitalization expenses [7177.4 (6057.5, 8225.7) vs. 10730.3 (8895.7, 14291.4) yuan], drug expenses [838.0 (441.0, 1342.0) vs. 1532.0 (1335.0, 1698.0) yuan], consumables expenses [4518.7 (4268.3, 5084.9) vs. 5550.9 (4066.6, 8340.7) yuan], technical labor expenses [1138.8 (911.3, 1414.2) vs. 3793.9 (2997.1, 4410.3) yuan] of day surgery patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy in traditional Chinese medicine hospital were lower than those of patients in general hospital (P<0.05), and the examination expenses were higher than those of patients in general hospital [329.0 (0.0, 598.0) vs. 40.0 (40.0, 40.0) yuan, P<0.05]. In terms of the total hospitalization expenses structure of day surgery patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy, the highest proportion was consumables expenses both in traditional Chinese medicine hospital and general hospital (63.8% and 53.6%, respectively). Conclusions There are differences between the hospitalization expenses of day surgery in traditional Chinese medicine hospital and general hospital. The dominant disease types of day surgery in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals need to be further cultivated. In the future, when the traditional Chinese medicine medical institutions implement the payment according to the diagnosis-related group/diagnosis-intervention packet, they should fully combine the actual situation of the medical institutions and the characteristics of the disease type, and at the same time, they need to further establish the medical fine management based on the disease type quality evaluation.
In order to promote the effective development of hospital day surgery mode, a construction method of information management platform that meets the characteristics of day surgery mode is presented. By analyzing the business process of the day surgery mode, the system architecture of the information platform is given; according to the difficulty of the surgical scheduling, the two-stage surgical scheduling algorithm based on the ranking theory is given; by analyzing the day surgery data statistically, a multi-angle surgical index analysis module is provided. The information management of the day surgery mode has been realized, and the work efficiency has been improved. A reasonable day surgery information platform construction can help to optimize the daytime surgical procedure and promote the smooth development of day surgery.
Objective To explore the Shanghai featured day surgery directory to provide policy support for further promoting the development of day surgery and focusing on appropriate diseases. Methods The data of day surgery patients discharged from Shanghai municipal hospitals within 24 hours between January 1 and September 30, 2021 or between January 1 and September 30, 2022 were collected. The number of day surgical cases, average cost and the trend of surgical diseases in 2021 and 2022 were compared. The day surgical diseases suitable for normalized epidemic prevention and control were summarized. Results A total of 35 municipal hospitals were included, including 175 201 patients. A total of 107 101 operations were performed in 2021 and 68 100 in 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, affected by the epidemic situation in Shanghai, the number of cases undergoing day surgery decreased significantly, and the average cost was not significantly affected by the epidemic situation. In 2022, 27 of the day surgery carried out in Shanghai municipal hospitals did not appear in the national recommended directory, and the number of operations for 6 diseases recovered rapidly under the normalized epidemic prevention and control. Conclusion Vigorously implementing day surgery can improve the utilization rate of hospital beds, speed up the turnover of patients, improve the utilization rate of medical resources, and reduce the hospitalization time of patients, the waiting time for surgery and the accompanying time of family members to meet the epidemic prevention requirements.
