In November 2017, a working feasibility analysis commenced of a local anaesthetic endonasal procedures out-patient clinic service at Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne. Fundamental to introducing an innovative ambulatory out-patient practice is the development of a novel local safety standard for invasive procedures to support this service.
This paper presents the new safety standard developed for this purpose and implemented in our institution.
Increasingly, there is a shift toward ambulatory services, directed by patient choice, technological advances and the opportunity for cost savings. It is hoped that this local safety standard for invasive procedures will provide a useful template for those considering implementing ambulatory endonasal services, or other novel procedures, within the specialty of ENT.
2017年11月，对泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔弗里曼医院的局部麻醉鼻内手术门诊服务开展了一项工作可行性分析。引入创新的门诊实践的基础是制定一项适用于侵入性手术的新型局部安全标准，以支持这项服务。
本文介绍了为此目的而制定并在我们机构实施的新安全标准。
在患者选择、技术进步和节省成本机会的推动下，医疗服务正日益向门诊服务转变。希望这项侵入性手术的局部安全标准能为那些考虑在耳鼻喉科专业内实施门诊鼻内手术或其他新型手术的人提供一个有用的模板。
