Comparative Analysis of Transitional Area Setting Mode for Inpatients in General Hospitals Under Normal Epidemic Situation

Abstract

This article about the establishment of a transitional area for Covid-19, that is, all patients should have nucleic acid before admission in China, and only if they are negative can they be hospitalized. However, some patients are seriously ill and must be hospitalized quickly, so they need to be placed in the transitional area to wait for nucleic acid results, and then they can be transferred to the general ward. Positive cases are referred to another site for treatment. However, transitional area settings in China are different. Some hospitals set up a separate ward for critically ill patients to wait for nucleic acid, and wait for negative results before being transferred to the general ward. Some set up transition rooms in remote areas of each ward, waiting for nucleic acid negative before being transferred to the general room. Some are in the emergency room waiting for nucleic acid results, if negative then transferred to the general ward. In my article, I have selected three transitional modes, compared the advantages and disadvantages, and selected the best one. Although the harm of Covid-19 is gradually becoming less serious, this best transitional setting model also provides a certain reference for the management of emerging infectious diseases in the future.
