ObjectiveTo analyze the effectiveness of PDCA cycle model in antibiotics management by comparison of antibiotics use before and after the use of PDCA in a tertiary hospital. MethodsProspective study was adopted to analyze the using rate of antibiotics in outpatients, emergent patients and inpatients between June 2011 and December 2013. ResultsThe reasonable antibiotics use was improved since the beginning of PDCA cycle model. The antibiotics using rates of outpatients were 33.00%, 29.09% and 19.31%, of emergent patients were 45.00%, 32.81% and 28.94%, and of inpatients were 71.00%, 57.76% and 53.28% in year 2011 (from June to December), 2012 (from January to December) and 2013 (from January to December) respectively. Meanwhile, ClassⅠ incision antimicrobial use also decreased and bacteria examination rate continuously increased during the last three years. As a consequence, patients' cost was reduced. ConclusionThe PDCA cycle model promotes the standardized management of clinical medication application.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of level management model in the application of nursing for pressure ulcers after spinal surgery. MethodA total of 3 558 patients underwent spinal surgeries between January 2014 and September 2015 were selected. We established a level management model, confirmed the personnel responsibilities, strengthened the pressure ulcers risk assessment of new inpatients, and standardized the processes of reporting pressure sores. We carried out the level management model between January and June 2014, summarized experience and formed a system file between July and December 2014, applied to the clinical work after continuous improvement between January and September 2015. High risk of pressure ulcers reporting rate, incidence of high-risk pressure ulcers, and healing rate of pressure ulcers were compared at the various stages. ResultsThe reporting rate of pressure ulcers raised, the incidence of pressure ulcers increased and the curing rate decreased after continuous improvement (P<0.05). ConclusionsLevel management model may effectively improve the quality of the nursing for spinal pressure ulcers.
In recent years, the widespread use of medical devices has led to the increasing frequency of device related pressure injuries (DRPI), which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and increases the burden on the healthcare system. The management model of DRPI has become an effective means of coping. This article reviews the application status of the care bundles model, SSKIN clinical management model, SECURE clinical management model in the prevention of DRPI. According to the characteristics of different management models, the key steps of implementation are given, aiming to provide a reference for exploring the prevention and management model of DRPI suitable for China’s national conditions.
Day surgery wards have advantages such as the ability to quickly free up beds and possessing necessary medical resources, making them a focal department for the integration of emergency and routine medical care within healthcare institutions. The Day Surgery Nursing Committee of Sichuan Tianfu New Area Medical Association gathered experts from relevant fields, took into account the actual situation and previous practices of integrating emergency and routine medical care in day surgery wards, and developed this expert consensus. It covers the aspects of emergency plans, process mechanisms, spatial preparations, personnel preparations and deployment, material preparations, and information sharing and coordination of the management model of integrating emergency and routine medical care in day surgery wards, so as to provide professional guidance and references for the management model of integrating emergency and routine medical care in day surgery wards, and offer new ideas and methods to maximize patient treatment during emergency situations.
