Abstract:
Objective To analyze the causes of time consumption in CT enhancement scanning (CTES) and CT angiography (CTA) examinations in order to optimize the procedures, and help to save time and medical costs for patients. Methods A total of 2328 outpatients and 1402 inpatients to take CTES and CTA examinations were randomly selected as the normal control group, and another 2085 outpatients and 793 inpatients who underwent the optimized procedures were randomly selected as the experimental group. The problems of time consumption and patients'satisfaction degree were analyzed. Results The major causes for time consumption in CTES and CTA examinations included taking wrong contrast medicine, forgetting to take contrast medicine, having no auxiliary examination results, waiting in the wrong line, and opening the cap of contrast medicine. The time spent for checkup for inpatients and outpatients in the control and experimental groups was (119.8±15.6) minutes and (31.5±8.6 ) minutes vs (55.2 ± 10.6) minutes and (8.4 ±2.1) minutes. The satisfaction degree of inpatients and outpatients in the control and experimental groups were 90.16%(1264/1402) and 88.66%(2064/2328) vs 98.49%(781/793) and 97.94%(2042/2085). The experimental group spent shorter time and had higher satisfaction degree than those in the control group, and the differences were statistical significantly, tinpatient=34.96, P<0.01, toutpatient=12.03, P<0.01;χ2inpatient=55.20, P<0.01,χ2outpatient=146.27, P<0.01. Conclusions After the procedures of CTES and CTA examinations are optimized, the checkup time is significantly shortened, and patients' satisfaction degree is remarkably improved.
