AbstractObjective. In 2013, Beijing medical insurance has achieved total expense pre-payment. The DRGs is one of the important evaluation tools for inpatient payment management; in order to improve the uploading quality of the DRGs data, it is necessary to standardize the writing of the diagnosis in the first page of the medical record. Method. To improve the diagnostic accuracy by strengthening the DRGs knowledge publicity and training, establishing a standardized database of synonyms for diagnostic names, by means of the information network, and using information technology to establish a visual platform for writing the diagnosis. By comparing the DRGs data in our hospital with the data of Beijing in the past two years, the hospital administrators and clinicians can understand where the problem lies in the diagnosis writing and the gap in the grouping of related data between our hospital and the average level of the same at Beijing. Result. The clinicians’ levels of writing the diagnosis and the quality...

AbstractObjective. To know the problems in medical record writing and diagnosis and treatment through the quality control of the malignant tumor medical records, identify the causes, and formulate measures for improvement, to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors. Methods. A total of 500 discharge malignant tumor medical records from June to August 2012 and 500 discharged malignant tumor medical records from June to August 2013 are randomly selected. The medical record quality control experts use a “special quality control table of malignant tumor” for quality control and statistical analysis. Results. After special medical record quality control, the defect rates of eight items, namely the diagnostic basis, name of the disease diagnosed, therapeutic scheme, pathological report, image report, informed consent, doctor's advice upon discharge and disease coding, are obviously reduced (P = 0.00) in the malignant tumor medical records, compared with those before quality control.

AbstractObjective. To analyze the defects of admission notes written by interns of the cardiology department and to discuss strategies of improving their quality. Sixty-nine admission notes of our department from May 2013 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed according to the requirements of the Basic Criterion of Documentation of the Medical Record, which was issued by the Ministry of Health in 2010.

AbstractObjective. To analyze the reasons for variation in the clinical pathway implementation management process and to explore effective measures to improve the pathway access completion rate. Methods. By evaluating the pilot management cases of clinical pathway implementation from August to October in 2013, the main reasons for variation in the clinical pathway implementation process are found, analyzed one by one and discussed, so as to put forward corresponding countermeasures and improvement measures. Results. There are three main reasons for variation in the clinical pathway implementation management. The variation factors and the variation ratio are that the patient factors account for 50.00% and the medical worker factors account for 9.38%, respectively, and the medical process and condition factors account for 40.63%. The improvement measures that are put forward are directed at the reasons for variation, so as to improve the completion ratio. Conclusion. The leadership in the hospital should pa...

AbstractObjective. To improve the archiving rate of discharge medical records of clinical departments by continuously improving the method of archiving the medical records of discharged patients. Method. The archiving rate of medical records was calculated and those medical records for which archiving was delayed, were analyzed statistically, to propose improvement measures according to the archiving time and discharge time on the medical records of discharged patients in various departments, which were counted by a medical record entry system during April 2012 and September 2012 as well as April 2013 and September 2013. Result. For 4,714 discharge medical records from April to September in 2012, the two-day archiving rate was 81.5%, and the seven-day archiving rate was 95.7%; however, after the improvement measures were taken, there were 5,557 discharge medical records in the whole hospital from April to September in 2013, the two-day archiving rate was 97.6%, and the seven-day archiving rate reached 99....

AbstractThe present system of medical record copying suffers from certain drawbacks. Patients coming from other cities, and their agents, run around hospitals to copy medical record information, the copying applicant does not have all the necessary certificates with him, etc. Now, attempts are being made to change the ways in which this system works. These days, the medical record copying process and the approval system are illustrated in each ward of a hospital, and medical record copying notices are distributed. A patient is encouraged to inform the doctor-in-charge to copy the hospital discharge medical record and the patient prepares all the necessary and stipulated identification documents. When the patient leaves the hospital, the doctor sends the completed medical record to the medical record room as soon as possible for the purpose of archiving and copying; if the record cannot be transferred to the room for various reasons, the staff at the room register copying reservation for the patient needin...
