Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of optimizing surgerical patients’handover procedures using tracking methodology.Methods Two hundred patients hospitalized between July 2011 and May 2012 were assigned in the control group,in which their handover was conduced conventionally.Another 200 patients between April 2012 to February 2012 were assigned in the observation group,where their handover was done by tracking methodology.The two groups were compared in terms of incidence of adverse events at handover,time for handover and satisfaction of medical staff.Result Compared with the control group,the study group showed significantly lower incidence of adverse events,shorter surgical handover time and higher satisfaction degree of medical staff(P<0.05).Conclusion The tracking methodology can help to optimize handover procedures and quality control management, reduce the incidence of adverse events and improve working efficiency.
