ABSTRACT
The objective of the article was to outline the practical nursing management strategies successfully followed in a general tertiary hospital involved in the of pre-screening 195458 patients, treatment of 316 suspected cases, and 4 confirmed COVID-19 cases from December 2019 to Mar 29, 2020, with no infection of medical staff. During the outbreak, the orderly management and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) were essential for COVID-19 prevention and control. A two-level warehouse management system for PPE was established. The hospital-level warehouse of the isolation hospital stored medical supplies. Input/output forms were used to record the usage of PPE. The wardlevel warehouse was equipped with daily requirements of protective supplies. Medical staff followed the policies and procedures of isolation precautions to use PPE. The nurse in charge reported the quantity of PPE used so that replenishment could be provided in time. Reasonable distribution and usage of PPE could be obtained through the two-level warehouse management system.
