Cancelación de procedimientos quirúrgicos electivos: Una agenda para la investigación en Colombia / Cancellation of elective surgical procedures: A research agenda in Colombia

Resumen La cancelación de cirugías programadas es un problema latente en Colombia que tiene repercusiones negativas para el paciente (física y psicológicamente), el personal de la salud (bienestar laboral, satisfacción, desempeño) y la institución (costo-eficiencia). La tasa de cancelación varía entre 2,7 - 7,6 %. La mayoría de las cancelaciones son prevenibles y ocurren por errores administrativos o de programación. En este documento se realiza una revisión sobre el estado y vacíos de conocimiento sobre este problema en Colombia, y se plantean algunos puntos para la agenda de investigación.

Summary Cancellation of scheduled surgeries is a latent problem in colombia, which encompasses negative consequences for the patient (physically and psychologically), the health care personnel (well-being, satisfaction, performance) and the institution (cost-effectiveness). The rate of cancellation varies between 2,7 - 7,6 %. Most cancellations are preventable and occur due to administrative or programming issues. In this document, we performed a review on the gaps of knowledge on this problem in colombia, and we highlighted some points for the research agenda.

Design and Implement of Data Collection and Management System for Water Meters, Electric Meters and Oxygen Gauges in Hospital / 医疗卫生装备

Objective To research and develop a data collection and management system for water meters, electric meters and oxygen gauges within the hospital intranet and perform an interface to the reckon of No.1 Military Project to make sure the accruracy of reckon entry. Methods Terminal equipment is water meters, electric meters and oxygen gauges with RS485 long-distance transmission interface. All the long-distance transmission meters for each independent reckon unit are connected to a single or a group of Comport-Network transformers. The data collected by data collection software will then periodically transmit and save the equipment data in a single or multiple special datatables built on No.1 Military database platform. Results This technology has been applied to the newly built in -patient building. Conclusion The interface designed to integrate decentralized equipment and data into the hospital's local area network using Comport- Network will have extensive application and promising marketing prospect.
