Study on strengthening quality control of MSKUS for enhancing medical service quality / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective: To strengthen the quality control of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) equipment so as to enhance medical service level. Methods: The application status of MSKUS was analyzed, and the management system of MSKUS equipment was established. And hospital strengthened the quality control of equipment and the talent cultivation, and function department combined with function examination department to carry out application research of MSKUS technique for patients with traumatic superficial soft tissue injury. And the accuracy of examination about injury between MSKUS and MRI was compared. Results: Through established quality control system of MSKUS equipment and adopted relative measures, the failure rates of ultrasonic equipment decreased by 98% than before that, and the accuracy rates of examination was nearly 100%, and the errors rates of operation significantly decreased. On the other hand, the difference of examination accuracy between MSKUS and MRI was not significant, while the treatment cost of MSKUS was lower than that of MRI and it enhanced the medical service quality. Conclusion:Through strengthened the management of MSKUS equipment and established the quality control system, hospital can promote the constant improvement of the management of ultrasound equipment, and extend the application range of MSKUS equipment, and effectively enhance the medical services quality.
