Efficacy of a full management model in daytime surgery for gastrointestinal polyps based on WeChat: A study protocol
1Department of Gastroenterology, Mianyang Central Hospital, Mianyang, China.
Objective:
The objective of this study is to improve the efficiency of daytime surgery for gastrointestinal polyp and ensure the safety of patients. We tried an information management method based on WeChat platform in patients undergoing daytime gastrointestinal polypectomy and to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of a full management model.
Methods:
Five hundred and ninety-three patients were randomly divided into two groups: the control group was treated with traditional management methods and the experimental group was treated with the whole-process management mode based on the WeChat platform. The WeChat platform-based full management model included establishing a day surgery management WeChat group, developing multidisciplinary, full-management protocols and processes for day surgery, establishing an information-based surgical scheduling system and adopting diverse forms of day surgery education and continuity of care. This feature included illustrated brochures, vivid verbal presentations, WeChat public numbers and Internet management platforms. The treatment time, hospitalization cost and patient satisfaction of the two groups were counted.
Results:
In the experimental group, 408 patients were enrolled. The preoperative waiting time and patients' length of stay were 3 days and 1 day, respectively. The medical and nursing intake time was 7 min. The procedure cancellation rate and postoperative complications rate was 0.07% and 0.02%. In the control group, 185 patients were enrolled in the study, The preoperative waiting time and patients' length of stay was 7 days and 3 days. The medical and nursing intake time was 28 min. The procedure cancellation rate and postoperative complications rate were 0.13% and 0.05%, respectively. The hospitalization costs were reduced by an average of $140/person and the satisfaction scores were higher than the control group. In summary, the preoperative waiting time, medical reception time, surgical cancellation rate, length of hospital stay and hospitalization cost in the observation group were less than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Patient satisfaction scores were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Through the full management model based on WeChat, the preoperative waiting time, medical reception time, surgical cancellation rate, length of hospital stay and hospitalization cost in the experimental group were less than those in the control group. Patient satisfaction scores were significantly higher than those in the control group and the difference was statistically significant.
