Abstract

Objective To explore the main problems of ultrasonic quality management in Qinghai Province.Methods The ultrasound departments of 19 tertiary hospitals and 51 secondary hospitals in Qinghai Province were investigated.The x2 test was carried out to analyze the setting of departments,subspecialty,instrument status,ultrasonic quality control,workload,and personnel specialty and educational composition ratio.Results There was a statistically significant difference between tertiary and secondary hospitals in department settings,sub-specialty,instrument status,ultrasound quality control,workload,personnel specialty,and personnel qualifications (x2=30.49,38.208,36.87,7.913,28.518,7.111 and 322.363,respectively,P ＜ 0.01 for all).Conclusions The above-mentioned observation indexes are better in the 19 tertiary hospitals than in the 51 secondary hospitals in Qinghai Province.Strengthening construction from these aspects and improving ultrasound quality control management play an important role in improving the level of ultrasound diagnosis and promoting the homogeneity of ultrasound diagnosis.
