Establishment of Emergency Surgery Triage and Checklist Management System

Sponsor: Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to develop and test a system for managing emergency surgery patients at Beijing Union Medical College Hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are: What information is necessary for effective patient triage and handovers between the emergency department, anesthesia, and ICU for surgical patients? How effective and feasible is a standardized handover process in improving patient outcomes and safety? Participants will: Be observed and have their handovers documented to identify key information required. Participate in implementing a new handover checklist and triage system. Researchers will compare the periods before and after implementing the new system to see if it: Reduces missed critical information during handovers. Decreases pre-surgery waiting times for critically ill patients. Improves overall patient safety and outcomes, including reducing postoperative complications, mortality rates, length of hospital stay, and medical costs.
