Abstract:

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, Hubei Province in December 2019, all hospitals across the country have been in an emergency prevention and control state due to the virus’ strong infectivity, fast spreading speed and high infection rate among medical personnel at early stage. Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, as a non-appointed COVID-19 treatment hospital with fever clinic in Beijing, is responsible for disease screening, diagnosis and transportation of COVID-19 patients since the outset of the epidemic. By carefully studying a series of law, diagnosis guidelines of the National Health Commission and the latest literature at home and abroad, also considering the characteristics of our own hospital, we focused on fever clinic, formulated a series of COVID-19 infection screening protocals and management strategies, and made corresponding adjustments and modifications according to changes of the epidemic. At the same time, by applying products of a number of scientific research with Tsinghua University, the fever clinic and isolation ward were reformed, and dedicated CT and laboratory were added. All staff in our hospital have no infections, make no missed diagnosis in screening patients and no error in transferring patients. At present, the prevention work of our hospital has entered into normalization, gained sustainability and regularity.
