The operation requires hospitalization, but there is no bed; he queues to wait for a bed to be admitted to the hospital before various preoperative examinations can begin; only after the examination results come out, can he elective surgery... time passes quietly.

This may be the impression that many patients had during treatment in the past. However, Ms. Luo, who recently went to the hospital for surgical treatment, had a different feeling.

A different medical experience

html On the morning of August 22, when Ms. Luo went to the Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Clinic of Chengdu Third People's Hospital, she was diagnosed with tonsil hypertrophy and required surgical treatment.

"I'm taking time off today to see a doctor. How many days will it take for surgery?" Because of her busy work schedule, Ms. Luo needs to know in advance and then figure out how to arrange her time.

"If you adopt the pre-admission method, the delay will not be too long." Zhang Jianhui, director of the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, said that Ms. Luo's diagnosis is clear and her condition is stable. Follow-up surgical treatment can be arranged through the "pre-admission" model, and the treatment cycle is only 1-2 sky.

Taking the issued pre-admission certificate and pre-operative examination form, Ms. Luo came to the hospital admission service center. After completing the relevant procedures, the preoperative examination process began, and all examinations were completed within an hour. On August 25, Ms. Luo was admitted to the hospital as scheduled and underwent surgery on the same day. The surgical treatment went smoothly and he was able to recover and be discharged home the next day.

"The prepaid fees and hospitalization expenses are calculated and reimbursed together, which is really convenient and time-saving." Ms. Luo was full of praise for the new treatment experience.

Examinations should be done in advance and surgery should be done immediately after admission

Shorten the treatment period Save time and money

Wang Weiqiang, director of the outpatient department of Chengdu No. 3 Hospital, said that based on the specific needs of patients, the hospital organized multiple departments and departments to explore the "pre-admission" service model, and finally optimized the service process and built smart information The platform has broken down the traditional barriers between some departments and departments, and realized a new inpatient treatment service model - "examination in advance, surgery upon admission".

In addition to shortening the time, "the examination and examination expenses incurred during the pre-admission period can be combined with the expenses after formal hospitalization for calculation and reimbursement, which is also a powerful measure to benefit the people to alleviate the cost of medical treatment."

"The operation of the new model has significantly reduced the cost of patient consultation time." Zhang Jianhui said that routine otolaryngology and head and neck surgery operations include adenoid hypertrophy, vocal cord polyps , tonsil hypertrophy, turbinate hypertrophy , tympanic membrane perforation For example, in the past, the average hospital stay for patients was 3-5 days. Under the "pre-admission" mode, the patient's hospitalization period can be shortened to 1-2 days. What synchronization brings is a fuller utilization of high-quality resources, allowing more patients in need to receive efficient and high-quality treatment.

How to protect the rights of patients during the "vacuum period" between pre-admission and admission? "Although the patient does not live in the ward, there is actually a dedicated person responsible for management." Peng Kaijun, the head nurse of the admission service center, said that from the time of pre-admission, the nurses in the admission service center will assist the patient in completing pre-operative examinations, obtaining reports, etc., until the day of surgery. Patients will be notified in a timely manner to go through the procedures at the hospital. “In this way, patients can have a clearer understanding of the medical treatment process and do not need to Run away more."

It is understood that so far, the " pre-hospital " management model launched by Chengdu Third People's Hospital has covered otolaryngology and head and neck surgery, general surgery and day ward, general surgery and hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, Nearly 20 types of diseases are covered in 5 departments of general surgery, gastrointestinal minimally invasive center and urology department.
