[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Daedong Hospital (Director Park Kyung-hwan) won the Excellence Award in the oral presentation category at the '2020 Korean Society for Healthcare Quality Improvement Academic Conference' held online on the 2nd.

The Korean Society for Healthcare Quality Improvement (President Yeom Ho-gi) regularly holds member training and academic conferences to improve the quality of healthcare in South Korea.

The annual academic conference addresses the latest issues in the medical field and provides an active platform for exchange through expert lectures and discussions in various fields.

This online academic conference featured symposiums and lectures on topics such as ▲ the significance of the revision of the Patient Safety Act ▲ the direction of medical institution accreditation after COVID-19 ▲ introduction and preparation of electronic medical record accreditation system ▲ non-face-to-face, smart healthcare and healthcare quality ▲ POST COVID-19: sustainable hospital response strategies ▲ narcotics accidents and prevention within medical institutions.

Medical institutions nationwide participated, presenting 519 oral presentations, 283 posters, and 135 papers.

Daedong Hospital's Nursing Administration Education Team participated in the oral presentation category for nursing work improvement with the topic "Improvement Activities of Nursing Work by Introducing Dedicated Administrative Staff in the Integrated Nursing Care Service Ward" and received the Excellence Award.

Hong Hyun-mi, head nurse of the Nursing Administration Education Team who won the Excellence Award, said, "Although it has been over seven years since the pilot project for comprehensive nursing service, which can be considered the origin of the integrated nursing care service, it is still insufficient to realize the original purpose of the service where nurses, instead of caregivers or family members, are the main providers of care and nursing services."

Nurse Hong added, "I feel great fulfillment in being able to share the activities and achievements of the dedicated administrative staff for integrated nursing care service, which Daedong Hospital introduced last year, to provide high-quality integrated nursing care services through this oral presentation."

Previously, Daedong Hospital established a direct management office under the hospital director to create a hospital that is safe and satisfying for patients.

Through these efforts, it was selected as an 'Excellent Medical Institution for Customized QI Consulting in 2019' by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, and has played a role as a regional base hospital in Busan by receiving first grade in 'Evaluation of Antibiotics for Surgical Infection Prevention' and 'Evaluation of Antibiotic Use for Acute Otitis Media in Infants and Young Children.'
