Abstract
To explore the effects of quality traceability systems on sharing medical community disinfection centers. We selected 3028 cases of medical community instrument packages that were manually handled by a single medical community's disinfection center as the control group and 3302 cases of medical community instrument packages processed at the same center using an automated system as the experimental group. The quality of medical community instrument management, efficiency, adverse event incidence rate, and user satisfaction were compared to evaluate the advantages of device management using the system. The time consumed for statistical usage queries, cost queries, accounting, scrap statistics, and package status inspection reports for the medical community instrument packages in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the incidence rate of adverse events in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group as well (P < 0.05). In addition, the average satisfaction score was higher than the control group. The use of the quality traceability system in the disinfection center improved the quality of medical community instrument management, increased efficiency, reduced the incidence of adverse events, and improved staff satisfaction with the process.
