Insights
Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) and supervision mitigated the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric inpatient care. Supervision improved clinical and financial outcomes, while CPG primarily benefited financial aspects.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Pediatric Medicine
- Public Health
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted non-COVID-19 inpatient care in academic medical centers (AMCs).
- Pediatric residents faced challenges in managing non-COVID-19 patients during the pandemic.
- Understanding the role of clinical practice guidelines (CPG) and supervision is crucial for mitigating pandemic-related adverse effects.
Purpose of the Study:
- To quantify the impact of CPG and supervision on clinical and financial outcomes of non-COVID-19 pediatric inpatient care.
- To assess the moderating effects of CPG and supervision on pandemic-related outcomes for pediatric residents in AMCs.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective cohort study analyzed data from pediatric residency programs at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital.
- Compared non-COVID-19 pediatric patients treated before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Statistical analysis performed using SPSS 26.0 and Smart-PLS.
Main Results:
- The pandemic led to a 41.4% decrease in pediatric inpatients, with increased severity and complexity.
- Supervision positively moderated clinical outcomes (e.g., increased average length of stay) and financial outcomes (reduced costs, increased profit).
- CPG moderated financial outcomes (reduced costs, increased profit) but not clinical outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Direct supervision effectively mitigated the negative clinical and financial impacts of the pandemic on pediatric inpatient care.
- CPG primarily buffered the financial consequences, not the clinical ones.
- Availability of CPG and supervision is vital for AMCs to manage disasters and maintain optimal patient care and financial stability.
Objective:
This study is aimed at calculating the magnitude of the effect of clinical practice guidelines (CPG) and supervision in inhibiting the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on clinical and financial outcomes of non-COVID-19 inpatient care by pediatric residents in academic medical center (AMC) hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
The cohort retrospective study was conducted. This study collected patient data from pediatric residency programs. A research cohort consisted of non-COVID-19 pediatric patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital. This study compared the subgroup of patients treated during the pandemic with those treated before the pandemic. The results were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and Smart-PLS.
Results:
There was a 41.4% decrease in pediatric inpatients during the pandemic with an increased severity level and complexity level, a reduction of 7.46% availability of supervisors, an increase of 0.4% in readmission < 30 days, an increase of 0.31% in-hospital mortality, an increase the total costs of care, and a decrease of insurance claim profit. CPG did not moderate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the clinical outcomes (β = -0.006, P = 0.083) but moderated the financial outcomes (β = -0.022, P = 0.000), by reducing the total cost of care and increasing insurance claim profit. Supervision moderated the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the clinical outcomes (β = 0.040, P = 0.000) by increasing aLOS and on the financial outcomes (β = -0.031, P = 0.000) by reducing the total cost of care and increasing insurance claim profit. This study model had a 24.0% variance of explanatory power for clinical outcomes and 49.0% for financial outcomes. This study's structural model effectively predicted clinical outcomes (Q 2 = 0.238) and financial outcomes (Q 2 = 0.413).
Conclusion:
Direct supervision inhibited the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both clinical and financial outcomes of non-COVID-19 inpatient care by pediatric residents, while CPG only inhibited the negative impact on financial outcomes. Implication of This Study. In a disaster, the availability of CPG and direct supervision makes AMC hospitals able to inhibit the negative impact of disasters on clinical and financial outcomes.

Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation.
