4. Reformation of the layout of the department structure
During the NCP outbreak, the Department of Head and Neck Surgery
implemented closed-loop one-way entry and exit management on the basis
of existing infrastructure on the ward: entrances and exits signs were
clearly set up in the elevator hall entering the ward, and dedicated
personnel maintained order and conducted personnel registration and
screening. Only one patient was admitted to each room, with up to one
accompanying person, and visitations were declined. Medical staff during
hospitalization were relatively fixed, and medical personnel and
patients were fully protected. Three quarantine wards were set up to
facilitate the in situ quarantine of suspected patients. A suspected
patient quarantine ward was set up in the inpatient unit in a relatively
independent space, which was a negative pressure ward.
