Though surgical treatment can prevent loss of lives, it is also accompanied the risk of complications and deaths associated with surgery. The goal of this paper is to examine quality improvement after implemented a Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) in Taiwan. Between October 2010 and December 2012, yearly eighty-five, sixty-seven, sixty-four hospitals participated in SSC project and monthly reported data on clinical processes and outcomes of inpatient after application of SSC. We collected data from Taiwan Joint Commission on Hospital Accreditation (TJCHA). The degree of complying with SSC and five outcomes indicators were include: the rate of postoperative complications, operative site infection rate after 30 days, the rate of unexpected return to the operation room, mortality rate within 48 hours after surgery, and Preoperative prophylactic antibiotic injection rate within 60 minutes. The first four months (September 2010-December 2010) after introduced SSC as the baseline period, (January 2011-December 2011) as early period and (January 2012-December 2012) as later period. The hospital were classified into 5 classes by size (<49 beds, 50-99 beds, 100-249 beds, 250-499 beds, >500 beds). We analyzed the change of compliance and five surgery quality during a baseline and a 24-month period after implementation of SSC by using SPSS 12.0 software. The compliance was classified into high and low group by the median. We compare the differences of surgical quality between two groups by independent sample T-test. Our results showed overall, the compliance level has gradually increased (the median was 97.25%, 98.90%, 99.52%). Compared with the base period, operative site infection decreased from 0.30% to 0.23%, readmission decreased from 0.60% to 0.40%, 0.35%, use of preventive antibiotics before incision within 60 minutes rose from 90.10% to 92.25%, 96.44 %, postoperative complications from 0.60% up to 0.70%. The effect of the degree of compliance to SSC on the surgical quality disclosure the postoperative complication rate, readmission in early period at these hospitals with 250-499 beds, high compliance group significantly lower 0.85% than the low compliance group (p<0.05), 0.14% (p<0.05); but prophylactic antibiotics ratio in later period and operative site infection in baseline period at above 500 bed hospitals, high compliance group increased 1.30% (p<0.01), 0.15% (p<0.10) than the low compliance group; readmission, use of prophylactic antibiotics at hospitals with 100-249 bed in later, high compliance group higher 0.19% (p<0.05), 1.86% (p<0.10) than low group. The implementation of SSC did not show an absolutely result and significant difference between high and low compliance hospitals in our data. We consider that all hospitals might improve their surgical quality already due to early performance of Taiwan Hospital Accreditation. Further investigation for continuous use SSC is necessary. |
