Study on the strategies of improving the timeliness of hospital consultations / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Consultation system is one of the eighteen core systems. Excellent consultation supervision can assist clinical departments to maximize cooperation efficiency. This article, concentrating on timeliness, built an individual-group-organization model based on the organizational behavior theory and actual conditions, and took management actions from three aspects, including changing personal behavior attitude, adjusting organizational performance plan and establishing task-based groups. Timeliness data in October and November 2018 were selected retrospectively one month before and one month after the new actions. The timely rate of consultation increased from 76.69% to 82.62% with a significant difference(P=0.000 2).
