Day surgery is regarded as a breakthrough in promoting the construction of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment because of its advantages such as effectively shortening the length of hospital stay and making full use of medical resources. In order to comply with the national policies, medical development, patient needs, and other factors, as a comprehensive tertiary hospital, Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University taking regional synergy as a carrier, combining with 92 medical units, actively explores the rational flow of patients with day surgery in the region, through implementing clinical path management, controlling surgery expenses and drug and consumables proportions, purchasing medical health insurance for day surgery patients to ensure patient safety, opening a green channel for patients at the grassroots level, effectively using the medical insurance to co-ordinate funds, and rationally planning medical treatment procedures, ect.
Standardize day surgery can significantly improve hospital medical efficiency, reduce medical costs, and enhance patient satisfaction. In response to the difficulties and operational “bottlenecks” in day surgical management, Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University has developed a suitable “centralized management and decentralized admission” day surgical model by referring to and combining existing domestic and foreign day surgical admission models. This article provides a detailed introduction to the management architecture, running process, and extended services of this management model, providing ideas for optimizing the day surgical diagnosis and treatment process and improving medical service efficiency.
