Critical value reporting system and process

Critical value reporting system and process are a set of regulations and operational processes used by medical institutions to inform doctors and related personnel of patients' critical situation in time.

In terms of system requirements, first of all, the system needs to clarify the responsibilities and authority of each link, and ensure that the staff in each link are aware of their responsibilities and authority. Secondly, the system requires that the report and notification of critical value must be fast, accurate and reliable to ensure that doctors and related personnel can know the critical situation in time. In addition, the system also requires doctors to confirm the accuracy of the critical value in time after receiving the critical value report, and record the treatment process and results.

Finally, the system requires doctors to take appropriate treatment measures or other emergency actions immediately after confirming the critical value, and follow up the patient's condition and treatment effect. The establishment and implementation of critical value reporting system is of great significance and function to medical institutions and patients. The purpose is to ensure that key values can be found, reported and processed in time by specifying the process and division of responsibilities.

Critical value reporting process

The first is detection and identification. Medical institutions obtain patients' medical information by implementing various inspection items. If there is a critical value in these inspection results, it needs to be identified and confirmed in time. Generally, medical laboratories, radiology departments and pathology departments are responsible for detecting and identifying critical values. Followed by reporting and notification, once the critical value is determined and confirmed, the relevant personnel need to report it immediately and notify the doctors and other relevant personnel.

Usually, the staff of medical laboratory, radiology department or pathology department will be responsible for reporting the critical value to the doctor or the responsible doctor. At the same time, other relevant personnel, such as nurses, attending doctors and department directors, should be informed. Then confirm and record. After receiving the critical value report, doctors need to confirm the accuracy of the critical value in time and take corresponding measures. Finally, treatment and follow-up. After confirming the critical value, the doctor needs to take appropriate treatment measures or take other emergency actions immediately.
