Research and development of safety management information system for neonatal bathroom and its clinical application

摘要

We developed a bathroom safety management information system to decrease adverse nursing events, and observed the application of the self-developed safety management information system in neonatal bathroom.A total of 3482 newborns receiving neonatal bath and rooming in between May 2015 and May 2017, were enrolled in this study. Of the 3482 newborns, 1727 that did not use the safety management information system from May 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016, were considered as control group; and other 1755 that used the safety management information system from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017 were entered in observation group. The accident rate of adverse nursing events, the duration to check wristbands, response time of urgency call, quantitative data recording for nursing procedures, and pregnant women's and their families’ satisfaction degree were compared between the 2 groups.The management information system possesses 4 functions including personal identification, nursing operation quantification, monitoring alarm and music function, and guidance on specialized knowledge and skills. The accident rate of adverse nursing events was significantly lower in the observation than in the control group (P < .05). The duration to check wristbands and the response time of urgency call were all significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group (all P < .05). Quantitative data recording was significantly better in the observation than in the control group (P < .05). Satisfaction degree was significantly higher in the observation group (96.47%) than in the control group (89.69%) (P < .05). The wireless transmission information was exact and safe, and the system was sensitive and reliable.The system not only is clinically practical but also can enhance the safety of newborns and improve pregnant women's and their families’ satisfaction degree.
