ObjectiveTo explore the application of PDCA cycle in the examination of medical quality of Tibetan area hospitals. MethodsIn the October 2014, PDCA cycle theory was introduced into the examination of Tibetan hospital medical quality. We collected quality problems existing in the medical activities actively, analyzed the reason and influencing factors and made corresponding plans. Then we implemented the plans and measures strictly, surveyed the results, found out and analyzed the problems, summarized the results of the examination, and turned the unsolved problems to the next PDCA circulation. Continuous follow-up was performed until the results were satisfactory. Based on Sichuan Province Secondary Comprehensive Hospital Evaluation Standard, we analyzed the medical quality of the hospital before PDCA application (July to September 2014) and after PDCA application (October to December 2014). ResultsThe incidence of medical nursing documents writing defects decreased from 12.4% to 5.9%. Hospital infection management defect rate declined from 13.5% to 5.3% and drug safety management defect rate declined from 11.8% to 2.5%, and all the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionPDCA cycle in the Tibetan hospital for medical quality examination has greatly improved the medical quality of Tibetan hospitals.
ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics of colorectal cancer surgery in the current version of Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA).MethodsThe DACCA version selected for this data analysis was the updated version on April 16th, 2020. The data items included timing of operation, types of operative procedure, radical resection level of operation, patient’s wish of anus-reserving, types of stomy, date of stoma closure, surgical approaches, extended resection, and type of intersphincteric resection (ISR). The data item interval of stoma closure was added, and the selected data items were statistically analyzed.ResultsThe total number of medical records (data rows) that met the criteria was 11 757, including 2 729 valid data on the timing of operation (23.2%), 11 389 valid data on the types of operative procedure (96.9%), 4 255 valid data on the radical resection level of operation (36.2%), 3 803 valid data on patient’s wish of anus-reserving (32.3%), 4 377 valid data on types of stomy (37.2%), 989 valid data on date of stoma closure (8.4%), 4 418 valid data on surgical approaches (37.6%), 3 941 valid data on extended resection (33.5%), and 1 156 valid data on type of ISR (9.8%). In the timing of operation, the most cases were performed immediately after discovery or neoadjuvant completion (915, 33.5%). In types of operative procedure, ultra low anterior resection (ULAR), right hemicolectomy (RHC), and low anterior resection (LAR) were the most, including 1 986 (17.4%), 1 412 (12.4%), and 1 041 (9.1%) lines. Respectively in the colon and rectal cancer surgery, the proportion of RHC (50.0%) and ULAR (26.0%) was the highest, with 172 (26.1%) and 815 (27.9%) extended resection. In ISR surgery the majority was ISR-2 (741, 64.1%). In radical resection level of operation, the number of R0 was the largest with 2 575 (60.5%) lines. In patient’s wish of anus-reserving, positive and rational were the most with 1 811 (47.6%) and 1 440 (37.9%) lines, respectively. And in types of stomy, there were 2 628 lines (60.0%) without stoma and 1 749 cases (40.0%) with stoma, among which the most lines were right lower ileum stoma (612, 35.0%). The minimum value, maximum value, and median value of interval of stoma closure were 0 d, 2 678 d and 112 d. The linear regression prediction of date of stoma closure by year was \begin{document}${\hat {y}} $\end{document}=9.234 3x+22.394 (R2=0.2928, P=0.07). In the surgical approaches, the majority was standard with 3 182 (72.0%) lines.ConclusionsIn the DACCA, rectal cancer surgery is still the majority, and ULAR is the most type. The application of extended resection in both colon and rectal cancer has important significance. The data related to stoma are diversified and need to be further studied.
ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics of colorectal cancer surgery in the current version of Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA).MethodsThe DACCA version selected for this data analysis was the updated version on July 16th, 2020. The data items included operative duration, anatomy (anatomical difficulty), pelvis (pelvic stenosis), obesity (abdominal obesity), adhesion (adhesion in surgical area), mesentery (abnormal mesenteric status), hypertrophy (tissue hypertrophy or organ hypertrophy), intestinal quality, death (risk of death), injury (risk of tissue injury), recurrence (tumor recurrence), metastasis (tumor metastasis), anastomotic leakage (risk of anastomotic leakage), difficulty of operation, prognosis, quality of operation. The selected data items were statistically analyzed.ResultsThetotal number of medical records (data rows) that met the criteria was 6 116. Spearman correlation text showed a negative correlation between operative duration and years (rs=–0.433, P<0.001). In anatomy, pelvis, obesity, adhesion, mesentery, and hypertrophy, the most cases were “normal or basically normal”, and the percentages were 32.55%, 44.52%, 48.68%, 55.79%, 53.36%, and 57.72%, respectively. In quality of intestinal, the highest proportion was “bad” (43.25%). In risk of death, risk of tissue injury, and tumor recurrence, the most cases were “very small”, and the percentages were 69.00%, 94.41%, and 68.21%, respectively. In tumor metastasis, risk of anastomotic leakage, difficulty of operation, prognosis, and quality of operation, the highest proportion were “small” (48.58%), “average” (49.25%), “average” (32.96%), “uncertain” (45.65%), and “very good” (39.85%).ConclusionsIn the DACCA, the intestinal quality is characteristic of difficulty in operation, and in the evaluation of operation quality, the judgment of anastomotic leakage deserves much more attention. However, the relationship between the difficulty of operation and postoperative effects, and the relationship between the quality of operation and the prognosis still need to be further studied.
ObjectiveTo describe the difficulties and quality evaluation of colorectal cancer surgical procedures in the West China Colorectal Cancer Database (DACCA).MethodWe used the form of text description.ResultsThe related content modules of DACCA operation in West China Hospital, included operator, operative duration, anatomy (anatomical difficulty), pelvis (pelvic stenosis), obesity (abdominal obesity), adhesion (adhesion in surgical area), mesentery (abnormal mesenteric status), hypertrophy (tissue hypertrophy or organ hypertrophy), intestinal quality, death (risk of death), injury (risk of tissue injury), recurrence (tumor recurrence), metastasis (tumor metastasis), anastomotic leakage (risk of anastomotic leakage), difficulty of operation, prognosis, and quality of operation, were elaborated. Then the surgical characteristics were detailed for their definition, label, structure, error correction, and update.ConclusionThrough detailed description and specification of surgical difficulties and quality evaluation of colorectal cancer in DACCA in West China Hospital, it can provide a reference for standardized treatment of colorectal cancer and also provide experiences for the peers who wish to build a colorectal cancer database.
ObjectiveTo analyze the tumor characteristics of colorectal cancer in the current version of Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA).MethodsThe DACCA version was the updated version on April 16, 2020. The data items including: procedure of anastomosis, shape of anastomosis, enhanced suture for anastomosis, stuffing, drainage, coverage of major omentum, anti-adhesion material, reconstruction of pelvic peritoneum, contaminate, and drug implants were analyzed for the characteristics of each selected data item.ResultsA total of 6 338 analyzable data rows were obtained by screening the DACCA database. Among the 6 338 pieces of data, the most common one was the double staple technique (58.1%), end-to-end anastomosis (69.4%), one-total-circle of enhancement (33.2%), and without stuffing (54.1%) in the items of procedure of anastomosis, shape of anastomosis, enhanced suture for anastomosis, stuffing, respectively; the ratio with drainage was higher (79.2%) in the term of drainage, the drainage time was (3.74±2.89) d and median drainage time was 3.00 d; the ratio with covering part of major omentum, without anti-adhesion material, with unilateral partial closure, without contaminate, and without drug implants were more higher, which was 41.1%, 79.8%, 58.7%, 73.9%, and 53.9% in the items of coverage of major omentum, anti-adhesion material, reconstruction of pelvic peritoneum, contaminate, and drug implants, respectively.ConclusionIt might better explain the outcome of surgery associated with intraoperative operation by studying the features of surgery of DACCA and guide the operation in the future for better outcomes.
ObjectiveTo analyze the risks and complications after operation of colorectal cancer in the current version of Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA).MethodsThe DACCA version selected for this data analysis was the updated version on July 28th, 2020. The data items included surgery reaction, body temperature, flatus, pain and mental status; preoperative complication, postoperative complication, short-term and long-term complication. The selected data items were statistically analyzed.ResultsThe total number of medical records (data rows) that met the criteria was 6 422, including 4 185 (65.2%) valid data on surgery reaction, 3 833 (59.7%) valid data on body temperature, 3 835 (59.7%) valid data on flatus, 3 597 (56.0%) valid data on pain, 3 551 (55.3%) valid data on mental status, 6 422 (100%) valid data on preoperative complications, postoperative complications, short-term complications and long-term complications. In the surgical response, 1 517 (36.2%) lines of data showed “normal” structure were the most. Among the days with elevated body temperature, the number of 0-day data lines with the structure of “body temperature >37.5 ℃” was the highest, with 1 980 (51.7%). In postoperative flatus, there were 1 675 (43.7%) data lines with the structure showing “3 days”. The largest number of rows (2 755, 76.6%) showed a structure that was “not obvious” in the pain scale. The mental status showed the highest number of “better” rows (2 976, 83.8%). There were 50 preoperative complications (0.8%). And 595 postoperative complications (9.3%), including anastomotic leakage (80, 13.4%), inflammatory ileus (62, 10.4%), pulmonary infection (57, 9.6%), and anastomotic bleeding (56, 9.4%), etc. There were 6 169 (96.1%) without short-term complication in structural form. There were 6 283 (97.8%) without long-term complications.ConclusionsThe changes in complications shown in the real world data from DACCA suggest that the focus of postoperative risks must be changed with the over the follow-up time. As for the complication evaluation system, it is necessary to establish a complete evaluation system combining the corresponding types and risks, to carry out valuable complication researches.

During the correlation analysis, it appeared that “variation of tumor marker” and “variation of gross” (χ2=6.26, P=0.02), “variation of symptom” and “variation of gross”, “radiography” and TRG (χ2=53.71, P<0.01; χ2=38.41, P<0.01; χ2=8.68, P<0.01), “variation of gross” and “variation of radiography”, and TRG (χ2=44.41, P<0.01; χ2=100.37, P<0.01), “variation of radiography” and TRG (χ2=31.52, P<0.01) were related with each other.ConclusionsThe protocol choosing of neoadjuvant therapy has a room for further research and DACCA can provide data support for those who is willing to perform neoadjuvant therapy. The efficacy indicators of neoadjuvant therapy have association with each other, the better understand of it will provide more valuable information for the establishment of therapeutic prediction model.
Since 2015, when the day surgery mode was officially reckoned and supported by the National Health Commission, the day surgery model has entered the new period of rapid development. But at the same time, challenges in the vacancy of the evaluation indexes of the medical quality and safety of day surgery still pose obstacles to its growth. At present, there is no nationally unified evaluating index or appraising system for the day surgery-related medical quality and safety. In this paper, based on structure-process-outcome theory, the day surgery practice and involved researching literature were retrieved, reviewed, and analyzed. Also, the practice model at West China Hospital of Sichuan University (a pioneer day surgery hospital in China) was comprehensively compared with the National Clinical Improvement System. From the aspect of day surgery medical quality and safety evaluation indicators, it is hoped to provide an evidence-based method and evaluation of day surgery, and a theoretical basis for establishing policies and data reference.
This article is based on the work practice of Medical-lnsurance-Medicine Linkage carried out by the Nanping First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University under the reform of payment based on diagnosis related group (DRG). It outlines the connotation and extension of Medical-lnsurance-Medicine Linkage in the hospital, including concept definition, organizational structure, the relationship between DRG payment and Medical-lnsurance-Medicine Linkage, and summarizes the specific measures and positive results of the Medical-lnsurance-Medicine Linkage work mechanism from four aspects: medical quality management, medical insurance management, medical drugs/consumables management, and performance evaluation. These experiences are of great significance for improving the quality and efficiency of medical care, actively responding to the reform of medical insurance payment methods, enhancing the level of medical services in public hospitals, and achieving a win situation among the medical insurance management departments, hospitals, and patients.
ObjectiveTo analyze the efficacy of promoting the development of day surgery in a municipal third-level public hospital under the guidance of national hospital performance appraisal system. MethodThe annual data relevant day surgery in the Yibin Second People’s Hospital were collected from 2016 to 2022, which were divided into three stages: 2016–2018, 2019–2020, and 2021–2022. The trend and correlation of the performance appraisal indicators were analyzed. ResultsThe day surgery in the Yibin Second People’s Hospital started in 2018, and its proportion in the elective surgery was only 1.2% in 2018, then increased continuously after the implementation of performance appraisal system, and was up to 34.7% in 2022. From 2016 to 2022, the proportion of discharged patients underwent surgery in the entire hospital increased continuously from 22.4% in 2016 to 35.7% in 2022, and the average hospital stay in the entire hospital gradually decreased from 10.9 d to 8.1 d, which both had a significant linear correlation with the proportion of day surgery in the elective surgery (rs=0.93, P=0.002; rs=–0.99, P<0.001, respectively). In the recent implementation of performance appraisal system, the re-operation rate after day surgery was less than 0.1%, the readmission rate of day surgery after discharge was 0%, and the satisfaction rate of day surgery patients was more than 95.0%, which reached 97.0% by 2022, higher than the average level of inpatient satisfaction in the entire hospital. Taking laparoscopic cholecystectomy, cataract phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, internal fixation extraction, vocal cord polypectomy, and endoscopic gastric polypectomy as example, the average total hospitalization cost and average cost excluding drug and medical materials consumption of the day surgery all decreased compared to non-day-surgery mode, respectively. ConclusionUnder the guidance of national hospital performance appraisal system, day surgery has entered a rapid developing stage, but it is still necessary to promote the medical quality by standardized, precise, and informationized day surgery management.
