Abstract

Objective To discuss the application value of work flow optimization based on hospital information system to shorten waiting time, improve nursing efficiency and ensure infusion safety in infusion center. Methods Process management combined with information technology was used to optimize the unreasonable work flow in infusion center. Self-designed questionnaire was used to compare the time between patients＇ arrival and leaving as well as the correct rate of nurses＇ transcription and typing of infusion cards before and after optimization. Results The average waiting time was （ 92. 15 ± 70.57 ） s before optimization and （64. 34 ±37.59）s after, with statistically significant difference （Z = -6. 704 ,P 〈 0. 01 ）. The correct rate of transcription and typing of infusion cards improved from 96. 5% to 99. 3%, with statistically significant difference （χ^2= 11. 806, P 〈 0. 01 ）. Conclusions The work flow optimization based on hospital information system can improve nurses＇ working efficiency, shorten patients＇ waiting time, reduce adverse incidence due to wrong transcription and typing of infusion cards and ensure the drug safety, so as to give patients effective and safe treatment and nursing in the infusion center. Key words: Hospital information system; Work flow optimization; Infusion center; Nursingmanagement
