ABSTRACT
December 2019 witnessed the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan and spread of the epidemic across the country. As a provincial designated hospital for critical patients, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University responded rapidly since then by advocating the four-concentration principles, namely " concentrating patients, experts, resources and treatment" . In its rescue of critical patients, the hospital formulated comprehensive emergency plans, optimized hospital-wide resources, effectively arranged rescue spacing, established medical echelons, and implemented multi-disciplinary strategy. These efforts ensured efficient rescue and treatment, achieving a cure rate up to 98.7% of such patients, with no deaths.
ABSTRACT
Multi-disciplinary team(MDT) is a new mode of medical diagnosis and treatment service. Multidisciplinary discussion could provide patients with a scientific, standardized and effective individualized diagnosis and treatment plan to avoid over-treatment. This article is based on the application experience of the MDT information management platform designed by the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University during the past five years. It discussed how to build a MDT management system which could fit the medical environment of large general hospitals in China. The MDT management system simplifies the MDT process, improves the efficiency of MDT work, and enhances the overall medical quality of hospitals. Meanwhile, it also contributes to strengthen the disciplinary collaboration in such aspects as disease diagnosis and treatment, personnel training, and scientific research innovation, ultimately forming a new multi-disciplinary collaboration system in hospitals.
