Abstract:
Objective The digital transformation of healthcare has made data-driven approaches critical for improving the quality and efficiency of medical services.This study aims to improve the quality of critical value management by a data-driv-en intervention.Methods This study built an advanced digital platform to precisely record the time-stamp of each step,from de-tection to solution.This platform also delivered real-time notifications of patient critical value information to doctors' mobile de-vices,thereby optimizing the critical value management.Data were collected via this platform.A cohort study was designed:March 2024 data(pre-go-live)served as the control group and May 2024 data(post-go-live)as the intervention group.Comple-tion rate,processing time,and the proportion of in-patient critical values which were entered into the electronic progress were compared.Results The critical-value completion rate rose from 97.1%to 100.0%,and the proportion of values processed within 30 min increased from 80.91%to 83.42%.Among alerts that required ≥30 min,median(IQR)processing time fell from 100.27(230.09)min in March 2024 to 91.07(169.73)min in May 2024.Median processing time shortened for both e-mergency and out-patient alerts,with the out-patient reduction being statistically significant(median-45 min,P=0.042).Conclusion The data-driven platform not only improved the critical-value management,but also enhanced the transparency and traceability,providing clinical decision support and enhancing patient safety.
