Abstract

Objective: To strengthen preoperative preparation management and reduce preoperative preparation defects. Methods: We set up a special medical care management team to investigate the preoperative preparation in surgical departments, analyze the causes of the shortcomings in preoperative preparation, and propose countermeasures. The medical staff jointly formulated plans related to preoperative preparation management including clear outline of responsibilities, strengthening of training, integrated medical care, timely feedback, and continuous improvement. Besides, the preoperative preparation of patients before and after the improvement measures were compared using statistical analysis. Results: The rate of inadequate preoperative preparation was 11.14 per thousand before the integrated management model was implemented. After the implementation of the integrated management model, the rate of inadequate preoperative preparation decreased to 2.99 per thousand, and the difference was statistically (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The integrated management of preoperative preparation can help reduce the rate of preoperative complications and ensure the safety of surgery.
