Analysis of the Effect of Process Optimization for Intravitreal Injection Centers Based on Patient Experi-ence
Objective With the goal of improving the patient experience of intravitreal injection,the diagnosis and treatment process is optimized and the waiting time is shortened.Methods In the medical records of patients who underwent intravitreal injection,the medical records of patients in the same period before and after the optimization of the process were extracted by systematic sampling method as the observation group(n=336)and the control group(n=150).The data of medical quality,medical efficiency and waiting time of patients were compared between the two groups.Results After the optimization a of the process,the appointment time of intravitreal injection surgery decreased from(67.77±29.95)h to(10.66±5.69)h,the time in hospital on the operation day decreased from(4.52±0.94)h to(2.55±0.67)h,the preoperative examination time decreased from(14.34±6.49)h to(5.19±1.60)h,and the number of surgeries per doctor half day owerage increased from(37.88±10.94)to(47.50±4.77),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in the incidence of secondary glaucoma and endophthalmitis between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The process optimization of the intravitreal injection center around the patient experience has significantly reduced the waiting time and improved the patient experience.
