Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of third-party logistics applied on clinical nursing.Methods Third-party logistics was introduced in the hospital and provided indirect service such as collecting and delivering patients' test samples,blood products,medicine and consultation notices by non-medical professionals.Results On the introduction of third-party logistics,hospital administration became more standardized,and explicitly defined responsibilities of nurses,medical orderlies and cleaners,doctors' and nurses' satisfaction on the medical orderlies was increased from 91％ to 99％,and the differences were statistically significant ( U =5.08,P ＜ 0.01 ).The server time needed for collecting test samples,medicine,consultation sheet were significantly shorter than that of before [ ( 5.30 ± 0.48) min vs (8.30 ± 0.88) min,(13.00 ± 1.41)min vs (20.00 ±2.00) min,(4.10 ±0.21)min vs (7.20 ±0.32)min;t =6.69,6.39,18.09,respectively ;P ＜ 0.01 ].Conclusions The widespread introduction of third-party logistics is worthwhile for the hospital,which makes nurses more focusing on the direct patients' care,saves much cost for the hospital in terms of human resources,and it better ensures the timeliness and accuracy of logistics.
