We have examined the impact of a single-stop vascular assessment clinic, incorporating a portable Toshiba SSA140 color flow Doppler, scanner, on patient pathways and throughput in a teaching hospital. Data were collected retrospectively from computer-held information for a 3-month period in a conventional vascular clinic and compared with data from the equivalent 3 months after establishment of a single-stop clinic. New and follow-up patient numbers, discharges, and outcome of each consultation were compared. The results showed that the establishment of a single-stop vascular assessment clinic with duplex Doppler ultrasound facilitated earlier diagnosis and instigation of treatment. It also indirectly reduced clinic numbers, allowing a greater proportion of new-to-old patients per session. It is more convenient and cost-effective for patients and hospitals.
我们已经研究了一家一站式血管评估诊所的影响，该诊所配备了一台便携式东芝SSA140彩色血流多普勒扫描仪，对一家教学医院的患者就医流程和诊疗量进行了研究。回顾性收集了传统血管诊所3个月期间计算机记录的信息数据，并与一站式诊所成立后同等3个月的数据进行了比较。比较了新患者和随访患者数量、出院情况以及每次会诊的结果。结果表明，建立配备双功多普勒超声的一站式血管评估诊所有助于更早地进行诊断和开始治疗。它还间接减少了门诊次数，使每次门诊中新老患者的比例更高。这对患者和医院来说都更方便且更具成本效益。
