Abstract:
The study analyzed the application of failure mode and effect analysis(FMEA)in the emergency management of emergent infectious diseases. In February 2020, optimization of emergency management procedures for emergent infectious diseases was identified as the research theme. Subsequently, FMEA was applied to study the emergency management process of emergent infectious diseases and analyze corresponding potential failure modes in an infectious disease hospital. The appraisal identified four prioritized risk exposures to correct, including non-standardized personnel protection, delayed personnel arrival, unqualified specimens and inadequate ward preparation. Accordingly pertinent countermeasures were formulated. Three months after measures were taken, the risk priority numbers of the above four risks were decreased significantly. On the other hand, evident increase was found in the on-duty rate of emergency personnel, the rate of standard protection, the qualification rate of sample collection and disposal, as well as the serviceability rate of respirators, ECG monitors and protective equipment in emergency wards. The application of FMEA is conducive to optimizing the emergency response process of emergent infectious diseases, and to upgrading emergency management at large.
