Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of whole-course management model of day surgery on patient safety, satisfaction and nursing quality.
MethodsFrom January to December 2015, we selected patients with the most common six types of surgerys of day room in Xiangya Hospital Central South University as subjects. From 1st January to 30th June 2015, a total of 498 patients admitted before implementing whole-course management of day surgery were chosen in control group. From 1st July to 30th December 2015, a total of 561 patients admitted after that were selected in observation group. The differences in cancellation rate of surgery, delayed discharge rate within 24 h, incidence rate of changing deportment, incidence of complications after leaving hospital, visiting rate in emergency department within 72 h, unplanned readmission rate within 7 d, rate of follow-up and patients' satisfaction post discharge before and after implementing whole-course management of day surgery were compared.
ResultsThe cancellation rate of surgery of observation group was 5.2% significantly lower than that (11.8%) of control group (P<0.05) . The delayed discharge rate within 24 h (1.8%) , incidence rate of changing department (0.4%) , incidence of complications after discharge (2.3%) , visiting rate in emergency department within 72 h (0.2%) and unplanned readmission rate within 7 d in observation group (0.5%) were all significantly lower than those (4.0%, 1.6%, 6.2%, 1.4%, 1.6% respectively ) in control group (P<0.05) . The rate of follow-up and patients' satisfaction in observation group were 97.68% and (98.83±1.05) significantly higher than those in the control group [92.97%, (94.18±1.36) ] (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThe whole-course management of day surgery can reduce the delayed discharge rate within 24 h, incidence rate of changing department, incidence of complications after discharge, visiting rate in emergency department within 72 h and unplanned readmission rate within 7 d, improve the rate of follow-up and satisfaction of discharged patients, guarantee patient safety and improve nursing quality.
