ABSTRACT
Quality supervision is the important guarantee of hospital quality and patient safety, and also the core content of the fourth cycle grade hospital evaluation in Zhejiang province. Based on the evaluation standards, Hangzhou Women′s Hospital used information technology to optimize the hospital′s quality supervision and feedback system, and set up a traceable and closed-loop quality and safety supervision system. The system realized five function points: storage and extraction of supervision problems, online recording of supervision results, real-time feedback of supervision results, online feedback of rectification opinions of supervised departments, and tracking and evaluation of functional departments. After the operation of the system, the quality supervision process of the hospital realized information operation, and could be tracked online at all time points, which improved the efficiency of hospital quality management, better ensured the implementation of medical system and patient safety, and promoted the continuous improvement of medical quality indicators.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of instrument compliance on the polymerization shrinkage stress measurements of dental composites. The contraction strain and stress of composites during light curing were measured by a custom made stress-strain analyzer, which consisted of a displacement sensor, a cantilever load cell and a negative feedback mechanism. The instrument can measure the polymerization stress by two modes: with compliance mode in which the instrument compliance is allowed, or without compliance mode in which the instrument compliance is not allowed. A flowable (Filtek Flow: FF) and two universal hybrid (Z100: Z1 and Z250: Z2) composites were studied. A silane treated metal rod with a diameter of 3.0 mm was fixed at free end of the load cell, and other metal rod was fixed on the base plate. Composite of 1.0 mm thickness was placed between the two rods and light cured. The axial shrinkage strain and stress of the composite were recorded for 10 minutes during polymerization, and the tensile modulus of the materials was also determined with the instrument. The statistical analysis was conducted by ANOVA, paired t-test and Tukey's test (alpha<0.05). There were significant differences between the two measurement modes and among materials. With compliance mode, the contraction stress of FF was the highest: 3.11 (0.13), followed by Z1: 2.91 (0.10) and Z2: 1.94 (0.09) MPa. When the instrument compliance is not allowed, the contraction stress of Z1 was the highest: 17.08 (0.89), followed by FF: 10.11 (0.29) and Z2: 9.46 (1.63) MPa. The tensile modulus for Z1, Z2 and FF was 2.31 (0.18), 2.05 (0.20), 1.41 (0.11) GPa, respectively. With compliance mode, the measured stress correlated with the axial shrinkage strain of composite; while without compliance the elastic modulus of materials played a significant role in the stress measurement.
