On May 5th, at the 325th press conference on the prevention and control of the new coronavirus pneumonia in Beijing, the deputy head of the quarantine and testing working group of the Beijing New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Leading Group Li Ang, deputy director and spokesperson of the Beijing Municipal Health Commission, said that recently, the fever clinic of Beijing Aerospace General Hospital admitted a positive patient with new coronary pneumonia. The patient left the observation area and entered the general clinic before the nucleic acid test results were returned. This has resulted in the closure and control of outpatient areas in the hospital, except for the emergency department.
After the incident, the Municipal Health Commission immediately organized a municipal investigation team to go to Beijing Aerospace General Hospital to investigate and deal with it. After investigation, the hospital’s fever clinic staff did not find out that the patient had left the observation area in time before the patient’s nucleic acid results were fed back, and did not strictly implement the closed-loop management requirements for fever clinic patients. .
After investigation and evidence collection, the hospital failed to undertake the prevention and control of infectious diseases in the unit as required, violating the relevant provisions of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases. The health supervision and law enforcement officers have issued a supervision opinion to the hospital on the spot, ordering the hospital to immediately correct the illegal behavior, giving the hospital an administrative punishment of criticism and warning, and giving the hospital points for bad practice behavior. The relevant staff who are responsible shall be put on file for investigation.
In view of the problems existing in Beijing Aerospace General Hospital, our committee attaches great importance to it, carefully analyzes it, consolidates its responsibilities, and further strengthens the management of fever clinics and hospital infection prevention and control.
The first is to instruct the hospital involved to make rectification immediately, strictly implement the requirements for epidemic prevention and control and fever clinic management, strictly implement pre-examination and triage, strengthen the training of medical staff, and fill in the loopholes and shortcomings.
Secondly, it requires medical institutions at all levels in this city to draw inferences from one case, and conduct in-depth self-examinations, strictly implement closed-loop management of fever patients, and give full play to the requirements of national and municipal medical institutions for fever clinic management and infection prevention and control. Fever clinics act as “sentinels”, strictly abide by the important checkpoints of epidemic prevention and control, and reduce the risk of social transmission.
The third is to further strengthen the management of fever clinics in medical institutions in this city, increase the intensity of nosocomial infection inspections and risk investigations in medical institutions, regularly report problems found in inspections, and conduct interviews with units that are slow to act and fail to rectify , strictly deal with violations of laws and regulations, resolutely defend the epidemic prevention and control line of medical institutions, and make every effort to ensure the needs of basic medical services and the safety of patients in medical treatment.
