Based on the national 2020 and 2022 versions of Accreditation Standards for Tertiary Hospital, the Hospitals Accreditation Office of the Sichuan Provincial Health Commission organized to develop Implementation Rules for the Accreditation Standards for Tertiary Comprehensive Hospitals in Sichuan Province (2023 Edition). In order to guide the evaluated hospitals to comprehensively understand and master the content of hospital infection prevention and control (IPC), this article interprets the main evaluation points and scoring methods of hospital infection management in the detailed rules, emphasizes on organizational management, system implementation, monitoring/supervision, and connotation improvement for IPC. The purpose is to make the evaluated hospitals attach importance to the standardized implementation of daily work of IPC, focus on the routine, objective, and quantitative approach to accreditation work, and continuously achieve the effect of quality improvement in IPC.
The vigorous development of day surgery is crucial to alleviating the contradiction between supply and demand of medical and health care and improving the efficiency of medical and health resources in China. The current path dependence, policy inertia, and lack of coordination in the development of day surgery have brought a more severe test to the healthy and orderly development of day surgery in China, and the vulnerability in the development of day surgery has also emerged gradually. By examining the positive and negative experiences and lessons learned in the current development of day surgery, from the perspective of “structure-resource-information- society” subsystems, and based on the identification of key competencies in the collaborative development system for day surgery, this article indicates that the day surgery resilience is a composite system composed of spatial resilience, digital resilience, resource oriented resilience, institutional resilience and management resilience, and analyzes the implementation path of day surgery collaborative development system, providing a theoretical basis for the healthy and orderly development of day surgery in China.
Evidence-based evidence translated into health care services requires three conversion processes, preclinical research-clinical research-implementation research, which might take a very long time. In order to speed up the process of research results translated into daily medical practice and health policy, an effectiveness-implementation hybrid design combining the effectiveness research of clinical and implementation research was emerging. This paper introduced the concept, classification and application of effectiveness-implementation hybrid design, to provide references for researchers in this area.
This paper introduces the background, significance, definition and types of clinical audit and describes five stages of clinical audit, including preparing for clinical audit, selecting criteria, measuring performance and sustaining improvement. This paper also introduces the international and national status quo of implementing clinical audit in nursing practice and describes the reporting guideline for articles of clinical audit. Finally, this article suggests that providing methodological training and creating a supportive environment are crucial strategies to promote the implementation of clinical audit and bridge the gaps between evidence and practice.
The consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR) is one of the most commonly used theoretical frameworks for implementation science. The updated CFIR was optimized based on the original version. The background, process and contents of the updated CFIR were introduced, and the domains and constructs of the updated CFIR were interpreted in this article. We analyzed the similarities and differences of the updated CFIR compared with the original CFIR, in order to provide methodological references for Chinese researchers to explore the determinants of implementation.
Effectiveness-implementation hybrid designs can test the effectiveness of interventions and the outcomes of implementation strategies concurrently and accelerate the transformation of research results into routine practice. This paper introduced three types of effectiveness-implementation hybrid designs and corresponding reporting guidelines, including standards for reporting implementation studies, cluster randomized design and CONSORT 2010, stepped-wedge cluster randomized design and extended version CONSORT 2018, qualitative research and COREQ reporting guideline, and provide references for domestic researchers to produce research reports on effectiveness-implementation hybrid design.
Objective We aimed to evaluate the current status of the construction and practice of the stroke center in West China Hospital of Sichuan University and develope a future strategy to promote the standardized developement of inpatients care and evidence practice. Methods The current status of the Stroke Center in West China Hospital of Sichuan University was assessed. The procedure of diagnosis and treatment was inspected in detail, including triage, thrombolytic therapy, antithrombotic medication and anticoagulant, primary and secondary prevention, filter of risk factors, rehabilitation and education for patients. After that, new plans were made on the basis of the assessment and experiences acquired from practices in the Stroke Center in West China Hospital. Results The primary Stroke Center had been constructed in West China Hospital. The practice in West China Hospital showed that the Stroke Center significantly reduced the mortality and shortened the length of hospital stay of the patients with stroke. Conclusion It is proved that construction and implementation of the Stroke Center in West China Hospital are feasible.
Clinical trials are the most reliable means for scientifically rigorous evaluation of the efficacy and safety of drugs, and are the most crucial part receiving the most investment in development and innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. In recent years, the nation has formulated a set of policies and guiding principles to encourage pharmaceutical innovation, promote the independent innovation of China’s pharmaceutical industry and enhance clinical trial capacity. To further improve Chinese researchers’ ability to perform clinical trials, the National Clinical Research Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases invited a multi-disciplinary team of experts from various areas including clinical trial methodology and supervision to work on this consensus. In view of the common concern and puzzles regarding the issues in clinical trials, such as recruitment and retention of participants, outcome selection, quality control, information technology application, and ethics in data security, the expert consensus is based on domestic and international guidelines, the latest advancement of clinical research, and the advice and opinions from national experts. It aims to provide reference information and guidance for clinical trial researchers, and serves as a reference for relevant authorities to formulate clinical trial management policies.
Guideline implementation with decision support checklist (GUIDES) aims to assist the self-reflection of evidence-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) related professionals to enhance the process monitor and continuous improvement of evidence-based CDSS. This paper interpreted the development process, target user, and assessment method of GUIDES, analyzed the practical value of GUIDES through a typical example, and then reflected on the GUIDES and current studies on evidence-based CDSS in China. It is expected to provide references for future studies.
This article systematically reviews the series of articles on randomized controlled trial (RCT) methodology guidance published in JAMA Surgery between 2022 and 2023. It focuses on providing an overview and guidance on critical aspects such as trial implementation and oversight, participant recruitment, statistical applications, and key points in manuscript publication. The aim is to offer valuable insights and references for surgeons to conduct efficient clinical trials and successfully publish their research findings.
