The impact of link quality management on healthcare quality: a comparative study at The Fourth Hospital of Harbin Medical University.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo explore the impact of link quality management on healthcare quality.
methodsIn 2021, The Fourth Hospital of Harbin Medical University followed various regulations and systems to manage the quality of hospital links. In 2022, the hospital upgraded and strengthened the quality management of hospital links. We collected and compared data from 2021 and 2022 on several observation indicators, including error rates in medical records, outpatient and inpatient numbers, surgical volumes, adverse event reporting, dispute complaints, inpatient medical records and outpatient prescriptions grading, timely filing rate of medical records, inpatient satisfaction rate, average length of hospital stay, rate of level 3-4 surgeries, admission rate of critically ill patients, workload index, work efficiency index, diagnostic quality index, treatment quality index, antimicrobial drug use rate, staff satisfaction rate, patient satisfaction rate, composite index, and Case Mix Index (CMI).
resultsIn 2021, the error rate of the first page of the general surgery medical records in The Fourth Hospital of Harbin Medical University was 27.91%, while in 2022 it significantly improved to 9.60% (P<0.05). The error rates of the main diagnosis, major surgical operations, other diagnoses, and other surgical operations on the medical records were all significantly different between 2021 and 2022 (all P<0.05). In 2022, the outpatient volume, inpatient volume, surgical volume, and adverse event reporting increased significantly compared to those in 2021, while the number of dispute complaints decreased significantly. The first-grade rate of inpatient medical records, first-grade rate of outpatient prescriptions, timely filing rate of medical records, inpatient satisfaction rate, average length of hospital stay, rate of level 3-4 surgeries, and admission rate of critically ill patients in 2022 were all significantly higher than those in 2021 (all P<0.05). The workload index, work efficiency index, diagnostic quality index, and treatment quality index in 2022 were all significantly higher than those in 2021 (all P<0.05). The outpatient antimicrobial drug use rate, emergency department antimicrobial drug use rate, and inpatient antimicrobial drug use rate in 2022 were significantly lower than those in 2021 (all P<0.05). In 2022, the satisfaction rate of medical staff was 93.57%, which was significantly higher than 81.16% in 2021 (P<0.05). In 2022, the patient satisfaction rate was 91.53%, which was significantly higher than 82.17% in 2021 (P<0.05). In 2022, the composite index and CMI values increased, while the error rate decreased significantly, as compared to those in 2021 (P<0.05).
conclusionAfter upgrading and strengthening the link quality management, The Fourth Hospital of Harbin Medical University has achieved significant improvements in management level, medical quality, technical level, and staff satisfaction.
