Objectives: Performing gastroscopy and colonoscopy under anesthesia requires detailed explanations from the gastroenterologist and anesthesiologist, basic check-ups, scheduling of check-up dates, and pre-checkup bowel preparation. If these preparations are not completed, the scheduled endoscopy may be cancelled. Methods: Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (HFMEA) was utilized to produce procedure flow charts, perform hazard and decision tree analyses, and improve decision making. Thus, work efficiency can be evaluated and improvement strategies can be devised. Results: After introducing an improvement plan (using a new flowchart guide for the OPD procedure, which lists various medical service spots for patients, shortening the production time required for preliminary laboratory reports, refining and unifying anesthetic risk evaluation standards, re-arranging the computer display of the ordering system, and setting up the medical macro-order system), last minute cancellations decreased to zero and the rate of pre-checkup preparations increased to 100%. Conclusions: Using HFMEA ensures more efficient analysis and helps resolve medical procedure complications and difficulties. HFMEA also increases the quality of anesthesia and efficiency of scheduling. |
