Abstract:
Objective To introduce an information system into the medical waste collection and transportation manage-ment process in medical and health institutions and assess its impact on collection and transportation.Methods The relevant in-dex data,such as the total amount of medical waste,per capita waste output,and handover weight error rate of a certain tertiary hospital in Guangzhou,were compared between pre-and post-introduction of the information system.Results After the intro-duction of the system,the total output of medical waste decreased by 2％year-on-year,the average daily output of medical waste per hospital bed decreased by 13％year-on-year,and the error rate between the in-hospital transfer volume and the waste disposal by medical waste companies decreased from 4.54％to 0.47％.Conclusion The medical waste treatment information system can improve the accuracy of collection and transportation data,and reduce medical wastes,thereby improving the management of medical waste treatment,and enhancing the collection and transportation efficiency of medical wastes.
