Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application effect of double-check standard process for ultrasound reports in health examinations.Method:A historical control study design was used in this study. A total of 11 909 health examination ultrasound reports from the Health Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February to April in 2021 were selected by systematic sampling method, the double-check standard process was adopted in those reports. The existing problems were categorized, organized and analyzed, and relevant measures for continuous quality improvement were formulated. Then, 13 939 and 15 833 health examination ultrasound reports from February to April in 2022 and 2023 respectively were selected for effect analysis.Results:Compared with those in February to April in 2021, the overall (double-check), initial check and secondary check ultrasound report accuracy rates in February to April in 2023 increased by 5.73%, 3.07% and 1.99%, respectively ( χ2=132.58, 46.80, 127.44, all P<0.001). In terms of trend changes, from February to April 2021 to February to April 2023, the error rates of the following five issues all showed a declining trend: misspellings, inconsistencies between descriptions and conclusion, need for doctor′s signature on the report, missing images, and errors in thyroid/breast color Doppler grading ( χ2=98.93, 30.13/14.59, 3.98, 14.6, all P<0.05). The error rate of ultrasound reports after continuous quality improvement was significantly lower than before. Conclusion:The double-check standard process for ultrasound reports in health examinations can effectively improve the quality of health examination ultrasound reports.
