- 公共卫生 公共卫生
- 提高医疗保健的质量 改善医疗保健的质量
背景情况:
- 结肠镜是一种初级结肠直肠癌 (CRC) 查方法,辅以非侵入性测试,如便隐性血液测试 (FOBT) 和便免疫化学测试 (FIT).
- 由于COVID-19大流行对CRC查率产生了负面影响,因此需要对查方案进行调整.
- 詹姆斯·A·海利退伍军人事务医院 (JAHVAH) 面临着高比例错误采集FIT样本的挑战,这促使进行了质量改进 (QI) 项目.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定错误收集FIT样本的根本原因.
- 实施质量改进项目,以提高正确收集和可测试FIT套件的数量.
- 在COVID-19大流行期间和之后,使用FIT提高CRC查效率.
主要方法:
- 一个多学科团队使用Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) 循环进行了一项门诊QI项目,以解决FIT收集效率低下的问题.
- 根源原因分析发现了六个主要问题,这些问题导致了不正确的FIT提交.
- 干预措施包括冗余的患者提醒,集中的FIT分散,以及改善患者-FIT接口可用性.
主要成果:
- 该项目专注于解决缺失的收集日期,这是FIT套件被拒绝的最常见原因.
- 在PDSA实施后,缺失收集日期的FIT套件的比例从24%降至14%.
- 正确返回FIT套件的总比率从38%增加到72%,超过了20%的改进目标.
结论:
- 便免疫化学测试 (FIT) 是对结直肠癌 (CRC) 查的一种有价值的工具,特别是当面对面访问受到限制时.

Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...

This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...
