Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the value of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis mode (HFMEA) combined with enhanced management of link quality in centralized processing of rigid endoscopic instruments.
METHODS Totally 80 pieces of rigid endoscopic instruments that were recycled by the endoscopy room of otolaryngology department of The First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from Jan. 2022 to Dec. 2022 were assigned as the control group, and 70 pieces of rigid endoscopic instruments that were recycled under the HFMEA model combined with enhanced management of link quality from Jan. 2023 to Dec. 2023 were assigned as the experimental group. The effect of the management and the qualified rate of instruments were compared between the two groups of instruments, compare the satisfaction under the different intervention modes.
RESULTS The scores of instrument disassembly and assembly, cleaning procedures, cleaning quality, environmental management and packaging quality were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The unqualified rate of instruments of the experimental group was 10.00%, lower than 23.75% of the control group(χ2=4.926, P=0.026). The staff′s satisfaction with the work of the experimental group was 91.67%, higher than 66.67% of the control group(Z=2.026, P=0.043).
CONCLUSION For the centralized management of rigid endoscopic instruments, the implementation of the enhanced management of link quality under the HFMEA mode can effectively improve the effect of management of the instruments and reduce the unqualified rate of recycled instruments, demonstrating a positive effect on raising the staff′s satisfaction with the recycle process of instruments.
