Experience of work of multidisciplinary hospital in conditions of mass admission of patients with COVID-19

Abstract

Objective. Generalization of management decision-making experience and analysis of organizational measures taken during the preparation of a multidisciplinary hospital for mass admission of infectious patients with COVID-19.

Materials and methods. The materials of the study included the generalized data on the results of work of a multidisciplinary hospital in conditions of mass admission of patients with COVID-19. The current guidelines, defining the key spheres of work of the head of medical organization and practical results of their implementation are analyzed.

Results. The article analyzes the main activities of a multidisciplinary hospital in conditions of mass admission of patients with COVID-19. It is established that a set of measures, including preparatory preventive solutions, timely planning, re-profiling into a multidisciplinary infectious hospital with reserve beds (including resuscitation beds), creation of mobile teams to provide medical care in the foci of the territorial area of medical responsibility, timely training and reallocation of medical personnel to maximize the effective use of staff resources, reasonable routing of infectious patients, introduction of a three-level system for providing medical care to patients with COVID-19, made it possible to effectively use the available forces and resources of a multidisciplinary hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusions. The measures taken proved to be effective, allowing a full provision of emergency medical care throughout the epidemic period, and resuming the provision of planned care in a full volume without reducing the safety of patients' stay in the hospital. Differentiation of patients flows, constant monitoring of the body temperature in both patients and medical workers themselves, constant use of PPE and motivated disinfection, regular check of employees for coronavirus infection (nasopharyngeal smear for COVID-2019 as well as blood ELISA for this infection) permitted to minimize the risks of spreading coronavirus infection in conditions of medical organization.
