At yesterday's meeting, the city emergency center reported the results of a comprehensive evaluation. Regarding institutional management, 90% of the hospitals in the city can implement various emergency management systems, and 54 hospitals received full marks for pre-hospital institutional management. In terms of personnel allocation, the proportion of qualified emergency medical staff reached 100%, and the personnel in the emergency department of municipal and district hospitals are relatively stable. The proportion of permanent employees among medical staff in tertiary general hospitals reaches over 60%. In terms of emergency response, during the assessment of pre-hospital emergency procedures, this year saw a first-time change from theoretical written exams to practical operations based on simulated case scenarios, making it more clinically relevant. A total of 68 groups of pre-hospital doctors and nurses were randomly checked for their practical emergency operation skills, with a pass rate of 100%, averaging 78.6 points. This score was lower than other single-item technical scores, indicating that the comprehensive and flexible application of emergency techniques and adaptability still need improvement.
Zhou Qiang pointed out that for hospitals that do not follow dispatch instructions, the city emergency center will impose penalties according to relevant regulations. For example, hospitals misusing ambulances will be publicly criticized across the city, and if the accumulated deductions at year-end evaluations reach a certain level, their emergency qualifications may be suspended or revoked. Hospitals refusing to accept dispatch orders will be criticized, and individuals who do not go out on calls will be placed on unpaid leave. Personnel who fail in the evaluation must undergo training within one month. Those who refuse training will have their personal emergency qualifications revoked. Zhou Qiang stated that the city emergency center has already criticized units and individuals who failed the pre-hospital emergency and emergency department evaluations, and ordered unqualified units to make time-limited rectifications.
To enhance emergency medical rescue capabilities and ensure medical insurance, the city emergency center conducted a comprehensive evaluation at the end of last year on the pre-hospital emergency service quality of 68 hospitals and the emergency service quality of 75 hospitals, including department setup, institutional management, personnel requirements, emergency response, and emergency techniques.
In the "120" dispatch management aspect, Zhu Hong introduced that most network hospitals comply with command dispatches. However, last year, one municipal hospital and two district hospitals each had one instance of not following dispatch orders, and a hospital in Longgang even misused an ambulance once to send employees shopping. Last year, there were a total of 496 sudden incidents, among which 162 cases did not report basic situations and casualty numbers to "120" within 5 minutes by the first emergency team.
Deputy Director of the Shenzhen Emergency Center, Zhou Qiang, introduced that before the Universiade, to improve Shenzhen's medical emergency capabilities, Shenzhen specially purchased 66 advanced ambulances and a batch of rescue equipment, and also provided strict emergency training for over 1,000 medical staff in Shenzhen. Both the hardware and software of Shenzhen's emergency system have significantly improved, playing an important role in subsequent rescue work.
It is understood that apart from 8 ambulances reserved at the city emergency center as backup, the remaining 58 ambulances have been allocated to hospitals above the street level with relatively weak rescue equipment strength. This batch of emergency equipment will further strengthen the rescue capabilities of network hospitals above the street level.
More than 50 Universiade emergency vehicles support hospitals
Low scores in hospital emergency operation evaluations
Southern Daily News (Reporter/Xiang Yu Hang, Correspondent/Yu Ping Jiang) - Yesterday, the notification conference for the comprehensive evaluation of pre-hospital emergency and emergency services in Shenzhen was held. According to the meeting, after the Universiade, the response time of Shenzhen's network hospitals set a new record last year, shortening from 57 seconds in 2010 to 51.82 seconds, with a 72% rate of departure within 1 minute. However, some hospitals in Luohu and Bao'an districts refused to dispatch vehicles, and one hospital in Longgang even misused an emergency vehicle to send employees shopping. At the meeting, the Health Commission praised advanced units and individuals in pre-hospital emergency comprehensive evaluations.
Zhou Qiang said that after the Universiade, the response speed of Shenzhen's network emergency hospitals has become faster. In 2011, the city's network hospitals set a new record for in-hospital response times, shortening from 57 seconds in 2010 to 51.82 seconds, with a 72% rate of departure within 1 minute. The speed from receiving an emergency instruction to arriving on-site is also improving. Generally, within the network area under smooth traffic conditions, it takes 5-8 minutes to arrive for close distances, and over 90% of longer distances take 8-12 minutes. However, during rush hours when traffic is not smooth, reaching the scene within 12 minutes is also a challenge.
