Development and application of emergency triage-registration information system / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the application effect of triage-registration information systems in emergency patients.@*Methods@#A total of 18 964 emergency patients from 1 December 2016 to 31 December 2016 in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University Emergency Department were selected as control group and 18798 emergency patients as experimental group from March 1, 2017 to March 31, 2017. In the control group, the patients were used traditional mode of triage-registration and registration office respectively line. In the experimental group, the patients were used triage-registration information systems in line once. The emergency waiting time, patient satisfaction and medical staff satisfaction were compared between the two groups before and after the application of triage-registration information systems.@*Results@#The waiting time in the experimental group was significantly shorter than that in the control group, median (P25, P75) 11 (6-28) min vs. 10 (4, 27) min, The difference between both groups was statistically significant (Z=-14.5433, P=0.000) . The patient satisfaction in the experimental group were better than those in the control group, (2.89±0.41 vs. 2.98±0.13), and with statistical difference (Z=-10.317, P<0.05) . And the acceptance of the medical staff in the experimental group were better than those in the control group, (2.90±0.35 VS 2.97±0.16), and with statistical difference (Z=-5.527, P < 0.05).@*Conclusions@#The development and application of the triage-registration information system can effectively shorten the waiting time of patients, improve the experience of emergency patients, improve the satisfaction of medical staff, and realize the optimization of the process of seeking medical treatment.
