When you arrive at the hospital, do you walk around in circles to refresh your steps? Shanghai municipal hospitals rebuild service processes, update diagnosis and treatment models, and optimize experience
When you arrive at the hospital, you walk around in circles and have to "check your steps" as soon as you leave... How to make the patient treatment process more convenient and efficient? Recently, news came out of the "Bimonthly Seminar on Municipal Hospitals Strengthening Patient Experience" held by the Shanghai Shenkang Hospital Management Center: Starting from 2020, 20 municipal hospitals in the city have successively set up patient experience departments, focusing on medical environment, medical services, Five key links, including medical treatment process, doctor-patient relationship and hospital governance, continue to work hard. Some hospitals have restructured service processes and innovated diagnosis and treatment models according to local conditions to meet the diverse and multi-level service needs of citizens.
Concept innovation drives practical breakthroughs, which can make fragmented diagnosis and treatment services continuous and efficient, avoiding the need to switch between various departments in the hospital. Experts at the seminar pointed out that many municipal hospitals are committed to using new technologies and new concepts to innovate service models, continue to promote ambulatory care, accelerated recovery surgery, and multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment models, while integrating resources to promote the construction of comprehensive tumor diagnosis and treatment centers to create a Patient-centered "one-stop" full-cycle management comprehensive diagnosis and treatment innovative service system.
In the Chest Hospital, the centralized management "thoracic professional day surgery" model has been launched first. This model is based on the ERAS concept of accelerated recovery surgery, and implements comprehensive rapid recovery measures in preoperative education, nutritional support, anesthesia visits, pain management, and postoperative rehabilitation to promote early post-operative ambulation, early recovery, and early discharge. At the same time, we fully integrate medical resources and gather multidisciplinary teams to participate in diagnosis and treatment, allowing patients to enjoy full-process health management. The Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University has established a service system for the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment center of gynecological tumors, built and applied structured electronic medical records and standard operating procedures for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer, developed standardized data sets, and integrated clinical pathways, multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment, clinical research, and personalized follow-up. By integrating it into the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological oncology, patients can achieve full-cycle "one-stop" management and the development of clinical research.
Based on the characteristics of children, the Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center has added a special MDT myopia prevention and control joint clinic during the winter and summer seasons. When providing myopia diagnosis and treatment services, the national standards for myopia prevention in the "Appropriate Technical Guidelines for Myopia Prevention and Control in Children and Adolescents" have been designed. An answer sheet is made into a test card, and children are invited to answer it, so as to mobilize the children's enthusiasm to actively grasp the standards for myopia prevention, and effectively achieve the combination of prevention and treatment in the clinic.
In recent years, Shanghai municipal hospitals have implemented interconnection and mutual recognition of medical and health information, promoting intelligent identification of key images and accurate push and mutual recognition of inter-hospital inspection results. Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine has created a typical business scenario for convenient medical treatment, launched a number of innovative applications based on the Internet, such as accurate appointment, intelligent pre-consultation, city-wide interconnection and mutual recognition, contactless payment, portable medical records, etc., and realized rescue "Enter the car and be admitted to the hospital", intelligent voice follow-up, medical electronic bills, intelligent outpatient triage, digital RMB payment, digital twin hospital navigation, "Anxinda" for traditional Chinese medicine delivery, multi-disciplinary expert consultation in Internet hospitals, intelligent accompanying platform, wisdom Functions such as medical cloud film, medical insurance electronic prescription, and "Internet Hospital Zone" can be applied for at any time.
Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Affiliated to Shanghai University of Chinese Medicine has simplified medical treatment routes and concentrated departments related to diseases of the same system in the same clinical area to alleviate patients' repeated trips to the outpatient area. Taking painless gastrointestinal endoscopy diagnosis and treatment as an example, patients originally needed to travel multiple times between the gastroenterology department and the anesthesiology department, which was time-consuming and laborious; now the two departments are set up opposite each other in the same outpatient area, and examinations are implemented through information technology As a result, hospitals are interconnected and patients complete all diagnosis and treatment procedures in the same clinic, which greatly shortens the time for medical treatment.
The Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital is exploring the establishment and improvement of the "pre-hospitalization" work process, and simultaneously establishing the "pre-hospitalization deposit" and outpatient priority queuing functions for pre-hospitalized patients. In addition to fasting items, all medical examinations and large-scale examinations such as radiology and ultrasound for pre-hospitalized patients can be completed on the same day. Combined with the critical value early warning reporting mechanism, "pre-hospital transfer" is convenient and effectively shortens the patient's waiting time in the hospital.
The relevant person in charge of the Shenkang Hospital Management Center said that since the National Health Commission issued the "Notice on Carrying out Activities to Improve the Medical Experience and Enhance the Patient Experience" in 2023, Shanghai municipal hospitals have upgraded the "Convenience Service Center" and promoted the "one-stop" hospitalization We will continue to simplify the entire service process of medical treatment by providing time-scheduled diagnosis and treatment appointments and centralized appointment services for examinations. At the same time, we will actively use information technologies such as artificial intelligence to explore the establishment of scientific, reasonable, flexible and efficient examination and surgery schedules, shorten the The length of stay of patients in the hospital reduces disorderly flow.
Next, Shanghai municipal hospitals will aim to make the medical environment more friendly, provide respectful medical services, make the medical treatment process more convenient, increase mutual trust in doctor-patient relationships, and promote cooperation in hospital governance, and promote more scientific processes, more continuous models, and better services. Efficient.
