초록

Purpose: Authors suggest a new alternative of preparedness capabilities for health care institutes to react
to the new types of communicable diseases and the pandemic situations through the quality improvement
and advancement of Negative Pressure Isolation Stretcher (NPIS).
Methods: We employed FOCUS-PDCA, a representative quality improvement model. First, we identified and
materialized necessary components of existing NPIS to be improved. Second, we fabricated an advanced
NPIS prototype. Third, we carried out a performance test by the accreditation institute and an empirical evaluation
at the communicable diseases trauma center, to locate the improvement pain points of the prototype.
Finally, we draw a conclusion on quality improvement points to be considered during the production stage.
Results: The suggested, NPIS outperforms the existing one in terms of communicable disease controls, patient
treatments and the safety during the patient transfer, and the ease of use. Additionally, the suggested NPIS
turns out to be a proper alternative to satisfy the requirements of long range transfer of patients with communicable
disease.
Conclusion: Authors developed a quality improved, NPIS prototype. There are several points that still remain
to be improved. Additionally, we expect that the concurrent use of the suggested NPIS with the existing
one will fortify the preparedness capabilities on reacting to the communicable diseases.
