| 1 | Lean techniques for the improvement of patients' flow in emergency department显示文摘BACKGROUND: Emergency departments(EDs) face problems with overcrowding, access block, cost containment, and increasing demand from patients. In order to resolve these problems, there is rising interest to an approach called 'lean' management. This study aims to(1) evaluate the current patient flow in ED,(2) to identify and eliminate the non-valued added process, and(3) to modify the existing process.METHODS: It was a quantitative, pre- and post-lean design study with a series of lean management work implemented to improve the admission and blood result waiting time. These included structured re-design process, priority admission triage(PAT) program, enhanced communication with medical department, and use of new high sensitivity troponin-T(hsTnT) blood test. Triage waiting time, consultation waiting time, blood result time, admission waiting time, total processing time and ED length of stay were compared.RESULTS: Among all the processes carried out in ED, the most time consuming processes were to wait for an admission bed(38.24 minutes; SD 66.35) and blood testing result(mean 52.73 minutes, SD 24.03). The triage waiting time and end waiting time for consultation were significantly decreased. The admission waiting time of emergency medical ward(EMW) was significantly decreased from 54.76 minutes to 24.45 minutes after implementation of PAT program(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The application of lean management can improve the patient flow in ED. Acquiescence to the principle of lean is crucial to enhance high quality emergency care and patient satisfaction. | HY Chan SM Lo LLY Lee WYL Lo WC Yu YF Wu ST Ho RSD Yeung JTS Chan | 2014 | World Journal of Emergency Medicine2014,5,1: | 6 |
| 2 | Non-invasive versus invasive mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure in severe acute respiratory syndrome显示文摘Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome is frequently complicated by respiratory failure requiringventilatory support.We aimed to compare the efficacy of non-invasive ventilation against invasive mechanicalventilation treating respiratory failure in this disease.Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on all respiratory failure patients identified from the HongKong Hospital Authority Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Database.Intubation rate, mortality and secondaryoutcome of a hospital utilizing non-invasive ventilation under standard infection control conditions ( NIVHospital) were compared against13 hospitals using solely invasive ventilation (IMVHospitals).Multiple logisticregression analyses with adjustments for confounding variables were performed to test for association betweenoutcomes and hospital groups.Results Both hospital groups had comparable demographics and clinical profiles, but NIV Hospital (42patients) had higher lactate dehydrogenase ratio and worse radiographic score on admission and ribavirin-corticosteroid commencement.Compared to IMV Hospitals (451 patients), NIV Hospital had lower adjustedodds ratios for intubation (0.36, 95% CI 0.164 -0.791,P=0.011) and death (0.235, 95% CI 0.077 -0.716,P=0.011), and improved earlier after pulsed steroid rescue.There were no instances of transmission ofsevere acute respiratory syndrome among health care workers due to the use of non-invasive ventilation.Conclusion Compared to invasive mechanical ventilation, non-invasive ventilation as initial ventilatory supportfor acute respiratory failure in the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome appeared to be associated withreduced intubation need and mortality. | Loretta YC Yam Alfred YF Chan Thomas MT Cheung Eva LH Tsui Jane CK Chan Vivian CW Wong | 2005 | Chinese Medical Journal2005,,17: | 3 |
