Investigation of Patient Care Management in Fangcang Shelter Hospital under COVID-19: a Simple Electric Management Mode

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic spreads all over the world for its high infectivity. This paper presents the practice in patient care management in a Fangcang shelter hospital(FSH) in Wuhan. Large numbers of mild patients were admitted to fangcang shelter hospitals at the beginning of 2020. The Liaoning National Medical Rescue Team (LNMRT) applied simple electronic management (SEM) mode in patient care management when working in the Wuchang Fangchang Shelter Hospital (WFSH). The medical efficiency was assessed by comparing the median hospitalization time between the patients receiving normal treatment and care (group A) and those receiving the SEM(group B). The median hospitalization time was 14 days for group A and 12 days for group B (p=0.001). As a result, It was more effective to apply SEM in fangcang shelter hospitals.
