Journal of Medical Informatics 2009;30(7):31-34
Medline is the most popular method for understanding foreign development of traditional Chinese medicine. However, be-cause of the difference of concept description in traditional and western medicine, incomplete of literature indexing, mapping deficiency of ATM to traditional Chinese medicine concept, it leads to the lack of comprehensive restdts. The paper proposes the fundamental principle for traditional medicine literature retrieval in Medline and analyzes the retrieval ideas and disciplines of single durg, compound, treatment by traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To evaluate the validity and reliability of learning attitude scale among nurses in continuing nursing education in hospital.Methods We designed a nurse learning attitude scale in continuing education on the basis of a learning attitude questionnaire for teacher-training by Jiao Weiting. In July 2015, totally 207 nurses of the Third Hospital of Mianyang who received continuing education in hospital were selected as the research object by cluster sampling method. We investigated their learning attitudes. The reliability of the scale was assessed by Cronbach's α coefficient and test-retest reliability. The validity was assessed by factor analysis and Pearson's correlation.Results The test-retest reliability of the scale were as the following:cogni-tive level (0.82),experience of emotion (0.89),tendency of behavior (0.91),total scale (0.88);Cronbach's α co-efficients were as the following:cognitive level (0.85),experience of emotion (0.94),tendency of behavior (0.83), total scale (0.89). According to the result of Pearson's correlation,the total scale of learning attitude exhibited a positive correlation with cognitive level,experience of emotion and tendency of behavior (P<0.01). Four prin-cipal components were extracted by factor analysis and the constructs of the instrument obtained were consistent with the conceived concept in essence.Conclusions The scale learning attitude could measure the learning attitude of nurses in continuing nursing education with better reliability and validity.

Objective To explore the effect of lean management on cost control of single disease in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) in stroke center. Methods A retrospective study was conducted. The patients with ACI who underwent intravenous thrombolysis in the stroke center of Taizhou Central Hospital in Zhejiang Province were enrolled. Thirty patients adopted traditional management procedures from July 2016 to September 2017 were enrolled in the control group, and 32 patients received lean management from October 2017 to December 2018 were enrolled in the lean group. The patients in the control group were treated with traditional intravenous thrombolysis, and the patients were sent to the neurology ward for intravenous thrombolysis. The patients in the lean group applied lean management value stream to optimize process management, the lean management team of the stroke center was established, and the green channel for stroke treatment was established to eliminate the waiting time as far as possible. The location of thrombolysis was changed from neurology ward to the neurological intensive care unit (NICU) in emergency department. The patients in the two groups were compared in terms of intravenous thrombolytic door-to-needle time (DNT), admission time to the neurologist's visit time (T1), CT examination time to neurology ward or NICU admission time (T2), neurology ward/NICU visit time to medication time (T3), and the proportion of patients with DNT controlled within 40 minutes, recovery of neurological impairment 7 days after thrombolysis [national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score], activity of daily living assessment (Barthel index), length of hospital stay, cost of hospital stay and patient satisfaction. At the same time, the main process quality and the implementation rate of easily missed indexes of cerebral infarction single disease were recorded. Results Compared with the control group, DNT, T1 and T2 in the lean group were significantly shortened [DNT (minutes): 39.56±11.12 vs. 63.03±19.63, T1 (minutes): 16.23±6.79 vs. 33.48±12.63, T2 (minutes): 13.45±3.84 vs. 17.47±5.56, all P < 0.01], T3 was slightly shortened (minutes: 9.88±1.95 vs. 10.95±2.69, P > 0.05), and the proportion of DNT control within 40 minutes was significantly increased [75.0% (24/32) vs. 16.7% (5/30), P < 0.01], the 7-day NIHSS score was decreased significantly (8.66±4.12 vs. 13.00±5.63, P < 0.01), 7-day Barthel index was increased significantly (71.6±16.7 vs. 54.7±17.1, P < 0.01), the length of hospital stay was significantly shortened (days: 9.69±4.06 vs. 12.47±3.83, P < 0.01), the hospital costs were significantly reduced (Yuan: 16 338±5 481 vs. 19 470±5 495, P < 0.05), the satisfaction of patients was improved significantly [(91.38±2.69)% vs. (86.53±2.78)%, P < 0.01]. In terms of the implementation rate of quality indicators such as pre-application evaluation of thrombolytic drugs, evaluation of dysphagia, and evaluation of vascular function, health education of ACI, rehabilitation evaluation and implementation within 24 hours, etc., the lean group was significantly improved as compared with the control group [(87.5% (28/32) vs. 53.3% (16/30), 96.9% (31/32) vs. 73.3% (22/30), 78.1% (25/32) vs. 43.3% (13/30), 100.0% (32/32) vs. 76.7% (23/30), 75.0% (24/32) vs. 33.3% (10/30), all P < 0.05]. Conclusion Lean thinking can realize the standardization of stroke center process, effectively utilize medical resources, improve medical quality and reduce the cost of cerebral infarction single disease.
