ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of the comprehensive and continuous management on the quality improvement of medical equipment in the operation room.Methods The"Five in One"mode,which consisted of organization scheme, regulations implementation, operation training, utilization supervision and maintenance, was applied in an observation group,and a control group was established with conventional management mode.The two groups were compared in the times per week of medical equipment utilization, maintenance and hidden risks elimination, the incidence rates of failures and adverse events as well as the medical staffs'satisfaction.Results The observation group had the times per week of medical equipment utilization and hidden risks elimination significantly more than those of the control group, while the times in a week of medical equipment maintenance,failures and adverse events less statistically(P<0.05).The medical staffs' satisfaction in the observation group was enhanced obviously when compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The new"Five in One"mode is effective in solving the problems that occur when the old decentralized mode is adopted for medical equipment management in the operation room.
