卫生系统可以通过实施有针对性的干预措施来改善诊断成像调度. 一项质量改进计划减少了超过70%的调度间隔,增加了患者的吞吐量和收入,但没有影响预约延迟.
科学领域:
- 医疗保健管理的管理
- 放射学作业 放射学作业
- 提高质量 提高科学 提高质量
背景情况:
- 对诊断成像服务的需求不断增加,给医疗系统的安排过程带来了压力.
- 在2022年期间,门诊成像中出现了显著的安排积压,时间间隔从2周延长到6周.
- 这就需要一项质量改进计划,以优化调度效率.
研究的目的:
- 到2023年1月,将门诊诊断成像调度间隔从6周缩短到10天.
- 实施和评估解决调度积压问题的干预措施.
- 维护或改善患者接入和运营效率.
主要方法:
- 调度人员,技术人员和放射科医生的反为干预开发提供了信息.
- 干预措施包括双重预订时段,减少时段持续时间,标准化对比方案,并增加CT扫描仪.
- 控制图表监测了每周的预约延误,作为平衡措施.
主要成果:
- 最初的双预订将预订间隔缩短到12天 (72%的下降).
- 进一步的调整 (更短的时段,标准化的协议) 将间隔减少到7天 (41%的减少).
- 添加CT扫描仪将间隔缩短到3天 (57%的下降),每周的数量增加了19%,收入增加了160万美元.
结论:
- 有针对性的质量改进举措可以有效地减少诊断成像调度间隔.
- 诸如插槽优化和资源增加等干预措施可以显著提高患者的吞吐量和收入.
- 未来的改进包括在线安排,适当性评估和紧急分层.
