The "Peri-evaluation" hospital evaluation theory comes into being based on a review of the traditional hospital evaluation patterns in China, and the reference of advanced international experiences of hospital evaluation. This theory is already applied to the evaluation and care quality supervision of hospitals in Hainan, On such basis, a "third-party" hospital evaluation management mechanism and "Peri-evaluation" hospital evaluation pattern have been worked out Such mechanism and pattern will prove inspirational for the pending hospital evaluation in China.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the application and feasibility of tracer methodology in the continuous improvement of high-alert medications management in the hospital,and to improve the quality of high-alert medications management and ensure the safety of clinical medication. METHODS:According to the theory and requirements of tracer methodology,a series of interven-tions were applied to the management of high-alert medications in our hospital. The comparisons on the mastery of high-alert medi-cations knowledge,review and evaluation results and the incidence of adverse events were conducted before and after applying trac-er methodology,so as to evaluate the improvement effect of tracer methodology on high-alert medications management. RESULTS:After implementing intervention measures such as the reduction of high-alert medications list and medical staff training about high-alert medications,compared to before management,medical staffs had improved the knowledge level of high-alert medica-tions (the average awareness rate increased from 69.6% to 88.5%);the review and evaluation results had been improved signifi-cantly (the proportion of the terms with qualified level evaluation results or above increased from 66.67% to 88.89%);the inci-dence of adverse events was reduced(from 0.321% to 0.139%). CONCLUSIONS:The tracer methodology has a significant effect on the management of high-alert medications in our hospital. It is feasible and can be widely used in the management of high-alert medications in the hospitals.

The publication trend showed a " double peak", showing a downward trend. The research hotspots in literature related to medical quality and safety management in China since the new medical reform have focused on practice exploration and influencing factors. The trend of future research is to closely follow the background of the times in medical quality and safety management research and intelligent medical quality and safety management evaluation system research.Conclusions:In the future, research on medical quality and safety management should be more in line with the changes of medical reform policies, focus on high-quality development to deepen the research on micro issues, promote information construction to continuously improve the indicator evaluation system, so as to promote the sustainable and high-quality development of medical quality and safety management in China.

Objective:To construct a theoretical model of medical quality and safety management based on the current situation of medical quality and safety management mode in China, providing reference for continuous improvement of medical quality and safety management.Methods:The CNKI database was used as the data source to search literature, with a high citation index H=38 as the judgment standard, the core literature related to the quality and safety management in China was selected. Based on the structure-process-outcome (SPO) model, Nvivo qualitative analysis software was used to code and analyze the included literature, sort out the relevant elements of China′s medical quality and safety management, and clarify the logical relationship between the elements, forming a generalized SPO model of China′s medical quality and safety management.Results:Through a systematic summary and review of relevant literature, a generalized SPO model for medical quality and safety management was proposed, including 5 structural elements (organizational structure, personnel management, resource management, informatization, management standards), 2 process elements (management methods, service processes), and 3 outcome elements (patient outcomes, employee outcomes, organizational results). The logical relationships between and within the three major elements were constructed.Conclusions:To improve the level of medical quality and safety management in China, the structural dimension should be focused on clarifying the responsibilities of the main body of quality management, establishing an independent and perfect quality control department, strengthening the investment and construction of information technology, and promoting the implementation of the medical quality management standard; the process dimension should be focused on promoting the rational application of quality management tools; and the outcome dimension should be focused on strengthening the management of patient safety and improving the individual satisfaction.

Objective:To systematically construct the foreign medical quality and safety management model by searching the English literature related to medical quality and safety management, so as to provide reference for improving the level of medical quality and safety management in China.Methods:The Web of Science database was used as the data source, the English literature related to medical quality and safety management in foreign countries was screened following the PRISMA guidelines, and the content of the screened literature was analyzed using qualitative text analysis based on the Structure Process System Outcome (SPSO) theoretical model.Results:In this study, a total of 37 articles were screened, 5 first-level themes of structure, process, system, outcome and continuous quality improvement were identified, 16 second-level themes were found, and their functional relationships were established. A theoretical model of the SPSO-Extension (SPSO-E) for medical quality and safety management was constructed, added new elements of the external environment, organizational outcome and employee outcome, and refined the continuous quality improvement into three segments of quality checking, problem handling and quality consolidation.Conclusions:In order to improve medical quality and safety management in China, the internal management model of the hospital should be dynamically adjusted according to the changes of external environment, and the result dimension should pay attention to the improvement of organization′s operational effectiveness and the physiological and psychological aspects of the staff. The final management results have a feedback effect on the hospital′s resource allocation, service delivery, organizational arrangements and cultural construction, promoting continuous improvement and enhancement of the hospital′s quality.

China still has more than 30,000 patients of advanced schistosomiasis while new cases being reported consistently. D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product. As ascites being the dominating symptom in advanced schistosomiasis, the present study aimed to explore a prediction model of ascites with D-dimer and other clinical easy-achievable indicators. A case-control study nested in a prospective cohort was conducted in schistosomiasis-endemic area of southern China. A total of 291 patients of advanced schistosomiasis were first investigated in 2013 and further followed in 2014. Information on clinical history, physical examination, and abdominal ultrasonography, including the symptom of ascites was repeatedly collected. Result showed 44 patients having ascites. Most of the patients' ascites were confined in the kidney area with median area of 20 mm². The level of plasma D-dimer and pertinent liver function indicators were measured at the initial investigation in 2013. Compared with those without ascites, cases with ascites had significantly higher levels of D-dimer (0.71±2.44 μg/L vs 0.48±2.12 μg/L, P=0.005), as well ALB (44.5 vs 46.2, g/L) and Type IV collagen (50.04 vs 44.50 μg/L). Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses indicated a moderate predictive value of D-dimer by its own area under curve (AUC) of 0.64 (95% CI: 0.54–0.73) and the cutoff value as 0.81 μg/L. Dichotomized by the cutoff level, D-dimer along with other categorical variables generated a prediction model with AUC of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.68–0.89). Risks of patients with specific characteristics in the prediction model were summarized. Our study suggests that the plasma D-dimer level is a reliable predictor for incident ascites in advanced schistosomiasis japonica patients.
