It is understood that in the early stage of the surge in the number of fever clinic patients, the hospital immediately deployed medical staff from other departments to "fireline support" for fever clinics. The number of doctors increased to 11, and the number of nurses expanded to 40. At least 3 doctors were guaranteed to visit the clinic every day.
"Increasing the strength of the medical team has effectively improved the efficiency of seeing a doctor. The time for patients to wait in line for a doctor has been significantly shortened, and the doctor can be seen in less than 15 minutes." Zhang Yang said.
Today, dealing with critically ill patients is a severe test that hospitals are going through.
According to Zhang Jing, an infectious disease doctor at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, the hospital has established a smooth referral "green channel" between the fever clinic and the emergency department.
According to a relatively complete system of receiving patients and transferring patients, medical staff will do a good job in grading diagnosis and treatment.
