ABSTRACT
Objective: The objective of this study was to enhance the efficiency of pre-check and triage procedures in gynecology and obstetrics, while ensuring the safety of maternal and infant patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Between March 2020 and July 2022, the workflow in gynecology and obstetrics was optimized, and the management of medical staff working in outpatient, ward, and obstetric ward settings was strengthened. Special protocols were developed and implemented for pregnant women, parturients, and neonates. Detailed procedures and routes were established for patient movement from outpatient areas to wards, with strict adherence to pandemic prevention and control measures. Information-based methods were employed to track and monitor the health status of high-risk pregnant women, parturients, and their families, facilitating accurate and efficient pre-check and triage processes. Results: The implementation of these measures yielded favorable outcomes. No cases of COVID-19 infection were reported among pregnant women and parturients admitted to Liangzhou Hospital. The source of infection was effectively controlled, ensuring the safety of the patients. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the significance of improving pre-check and triage efficiency, strengthening the management of medical staff, and implementing specialized measures for pregnant women, parturients, and neonates to ensure their safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. The established protocols and procedures can serve as a valuable reference for other healthcare facilities seeking to enhance their pandemic prevention and control strategies in gynecology and obstetrics settings.
