RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To analyze theconstruction of infectious diseases departments and fever clinics in medical institutions at all levels in Jiangsu Province after the COVID-19 epidemic, and to provide a basis for promoting their standardized construction. METHODS: A questionnaire survey was conducted on the construction of infectious diseases departments and fever clinics in 429 medical institutions of Jiangsu Province from July to December 2020, including the overview of medical institutions, the construction status of infectious diseases departments, the construction status and future construction plans of fever clinics, etc. RESULTS: The construction rate of infectious diseases department and fever clinics in medical institutions of Jiangsu province were 33.3% and 75.3% respectively. Ventilation by opening window for was the main form of airflow organization in infectious diseases department and fever clinics, and independent ICUs and negative pressure wards were not set up in most of infectious diseases departments. The setting rate of "three zones and two channels" in fever clinics was high(96.9%), but most of them were not equipped with special CT for fever clinics patients. The proportion of air conditioning and ventilation system without air disinfection devices in the of fever clinics of medical institutions at all levels was higher than 90%. Considering the both hardware construction and quality management, the situation in tertiary medical institutions were superior to secondary medical institutions, and secondary medical institutions were superior to primary medical institutions. Various construction indicators and management systems failed to fully meet the requirements of documents and standards. CONCLUSION: Jiangsu province actively promotes the construction of infectious diseases department and fever clinic layout, but there is still a gap with the construction standard, which is necessary to further promote standardized construction. We should mend the shortages, strengthen the weakness, expand the bases, comprehensively improve the service and anti-epidemic capacity of infectious diseases departments, fever clinics and even the entire medical and health system, so as to better serve the health and life safety of the people.
