Safety and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal and gastric cancer under the Chinese multi-site practice policy: admittance standards of competence are needed. Gastroenterol Rep (Oxf) 2022; 10:goac046. [PMID: 36196254 PMCID: PMC9522381 DOI: 10.1093/gastro/goac046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The multi-site practice (MSP) policy has been practiced in China over 10 years. This study aimed to investigate the safety and feasibility of performing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer (LSCRC) and gastric cancer (LSGC) under the Chinese MSP policy. Methods We collected and analysed the data from 1,081 patients who underwent LSCRC or LSGC performed by one gastrointestinal surgeon in his original hospital (n = 573) and his MSP institutions (n = 508) between January 2017 and December 2020. Baseline demographics, intraoperative outcomes, post-operative recovery, and pathological results were compared between the original hospital and MSP institutions, as well as between MSP institutions with and without specific competence (surgical skill, operative instrument, perioperative multi-discipline team). Results In our study, 690 patients underwent LSCRC and 391 patients underwent LSGC. The prevalence of post-operative complications was comparable for LSCRC (11.5% vs 11.1%, P = 0.89) or LSGC (15.2% vs 12.6%, P = 0.46) between the original hospital and MSP institutions. However, patients in MSP institutions without qualified surgical assistant(s) and adequate instruments experienced longer operative time and greater intraoperative blood loss. The proportion of patients with inadequate lymph-node yield was significantly higher in MSP institutions than in the original hospital for both LSCRC (11.5% vs 21.2%, P < 0.01) and LSGC (9.8% vs 20.5%, P < 0.01). Conclusion For an experienced gastrointestinal surgeon, performing LSCRC and LSGC outside his original hospital under the MSP policy is safe and feasible, but relies on the precondition that the MSP institutions are equipped with qualified surgical skills, adequate operative instruments, and complete perioperative management.

[PMID: 32780532 DOI: 10.1111/jonm.13131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Revised: 08/05/2020] [Accepted: 08/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
AIM To implement the nursing rounds to improve the quality and patient satisfaction of the outpatient department. BACKGROUND Patient satisfaction is one of the most critical standards for judging the quality of hospitals. Clinical daily nursing rounds significantly increase patient satisfaction and influence safety. METHOD SQUIRE guidelines directed the execution of a quality improvement project, which used the Driver Model to improve patient satisfaction in a Chinese outpatient department with 15,000 visits per day (4 million/year). Patient satisfaction based on questionnaires (1,541), pre-intervention and (1,219) post-intervention provided increased satisfaction (p < .05). RESULTS Improvements validated were satisfaction with outpatient services from patients, effective nurse-patient communications, an increase in the quality of nursing care, doctors' satisfaction with the outpatient department operations, reduced wait time and more efficient management, all impact safety. CONCLUSIONS The institution of daily nursing rounds made an overall improvement in the operations of the outpatient department, which increased patient satisfaction, quality of care and safety. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT Nursing rounds promote patient satisfaction through assessment of operations, addressing patient and staff needs, and appropriate interventions to rectify issues and reduce adverse outcomes. Patient satisfaction impacts quality, outcomes and safety in clinical settings.
