Abstract:
Background The length of hospital stay before surgery directly affects the utilization of hospital bed resources, and it is also an important indicator to measure the level of hospital operation and management.
Objective To comprehensively discuss the influencing factors of preoperative average hospitalization days by collecting large number of actual data, so as to provide a reference model for hospitals to shorten preoperative average hospitalization days.
Methods Through HIS system, clinical data about 61 892 inpatients undergoing elective surgery in a tertiary general hospital from January 1 to December 31, 2019 were extracted, and the main factors affecting the average preoperative hospitalization days were analyzed.
Results Large surgical departments, major inter-operative operations, large-scale equipment examination, admission on Friday and temporary cancellation of operations would prolong the preoperative hospitalization days. Carrying out day surgery could greatly shorten the preoperative hospitalization days.
Conclusion Shortening the preoperative hospital stay involves many aspects of management. Through comprehensive treatment, the average preoperative hospital stay in the whole hospital is expected to drop from 4.3 days to less than 3.5 days.
