ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Since December 2019, there have been many new cases of coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan, Hubei Province, which gradually spread to the whole country.

Research motivation

We took the lead in initiating the "wartime" vertical management model and taking over the related operation management of the fever clinic in an all-round way, innovating and constructing the vertical management model of the fever clinic, and dynamically adjusting and strengthening the efficiency of the vertical control in wartime.

Research objectives

To explore the new methods for efficient operation of fever clinics.

Research methods

Fever clinic patients were selected and divided into two groups. Group A was the original operation and management mode group, and group B was the new operation and management mode group ("one integrated system, three separated responsibilities").

Research results

The awareness of novel coronavirus infection sources, transmission routes, early symptoms and preventive measures was significantly higher in the new operation and management mode group than that of the original operation and management mode group.

Research conclusions

The method of "an integrated system, three separated responsibilities" improves the efficiency of fever clinics.

Research perspectives

Innovative hospital management methods can improve clinical work efficiency.
