Background. In daily inspection, the nonstandard management of sterile articles in clinical departments of hospitals often leads to the destruction of the sterilization effectiveness of sterile articles. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen governance and improve this phenomenon. This study intends to investigate the mode in which the disinfection supply center participates in the supervision and management of the management of sterile items in clinical departments. It played a role in improving the standardization of the management of sterile articles in clinical departments and ensured the closed-loop management of the sterilization effectiveness of sterile articles. Methods. Every quarter, the disinfection supply center of our hospital will inspect the standardized management of sterile articles in all clinical departments of the hospital, mainly including the storage environment and facilities of sterile articles, the cleanliness of storage cabinets, placement principles, whether they are stored by category, and the quality and validity management of sterile articles. The quarterly inspection results were summarized and analyzed to find the existing problems and the causes. The disinfection supply center shall supervise the improvement. After the disinfection supply center inspected the standardized management of sterile articles in all clinical departments of the hospital for the first time according to the inspection contents, under the guidance and assistance of the nursing department and the hospital infection department, it improved the sterile article management system, conducted knowledge training for the whole hospital, and incorporated the standardized management of clinical sterile articles into the quality control inspection of the nursing department. In the later stage, the disinfection supply center is responsible for conducting routine inspection and supervision on the standardized management of sterile articles in all clinical departments of the hospital every quarter according to the inspection contents, including summarizing, analyzing, and urging the clinical departments to achieve the improvement of the management of sterile articles in clinical departments. Results. The standardization of aseptic articles after improvement was significantly higher than before and during improvement, and the qualified rate was significantly different (99.4% vs 97.9% vs 89.5%, P < 0.05 ). The average number of lost packages caused by nonstandard management in the department was significantly reduced. The average rate of lost sterile packages during and after the improvement was significantly lower than that before the improvement (10.5% vs 97.9% vs 89.5%, P < 0.05 ). It also effectively reduced the cost caused by the loss of sterile packages. Conclusion. The disinfection supply center participates in the quality control and management of sterile articles in the nursing department and regularly inspects and supervises the management of sterile articles in clinical departments. It can effectively improve the standardized management of sterile articles in clinical departments, ensure the safety of sterile articles, and form a closed loop of sterilization effectiveness.

“…Currently, Lean Health Care is not the sole management model that aims to restructure the health industry towards greater flexibilization of work and employment contracts, but many health organizations and systems apply Lean Health Care principles around the world. Some examples with higher prominence are the British National Health System (NHS) ( 27 ) ; the Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, USA ( 28 ) , an institution associated to the Virginia Mason Institute, that created the Virginia Mason Production System inspired in Lean Production and makes consultations with diverse health institutions, among them the NHS itself; ThedaCare in Wisconsin, USA, that created the ThedaCare Improvement System based on Lean Production ( 29 ) ; the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA ( 30 ) ; in addition to organizations in Brazil, Canada, Taiwan, New Zealand, Germany, Sweden, Italy and Holland ( 29 ,( 31 - 32 ) .…”

Objective: to analyze the relationships between the development of the Nursing labor and of capitalism over the 200 years of Florence Nightingale. Method: a logical-reflective and theoretical exposition based on interpretations of historical facts and Marxist theories. The analysis categories were the following: the creation and expansion of the Nightingalean Nursing Teaching System; the subsumption of the Nursing labor to capital; imperialism and international health; and the flexibilization of the Nursing labor. Results: the expansion of the Nightingale Teaching System has trained nurses on a global scale. The capitalist system transformed the Nursing labor in the twentieth century, culminating in the twenty-first century with precarious and intense turnover of nurses in their jobs. Conclusion: the Nursing labor, made professional by Nightingale, has assumed in the last 200 years a dialectical relationship with capitalism in which it both determines and is determined by it. New challenges, such as the Industry 4.0 technologies, are constantly imposed on the profession.

“…The medical professional plays an important role for the culture of continuous improvement (21) ; however, it is worth mentioning that the approach of the multidisciplinary team, together with the training of this philosophy, is fundamental for the achievement of results in the implementation and maintenance of Lean (13,(39)(40) .…”

Objective: To analyze the scientific evidences in the literature about the evaluation of Lean Healthcare after its implementation. Method: An integrative review conducted in the CINAHL, Scopus, WOS, and Embase databases, and in the PubMed portal, resulting in 18 articles published in English, Spanish and Portuguese, from 2008 to 2019. Results: The findings were categorized into results for the institution, professional, and patient. The predominant category was institutional, with cost analysis and increased productivity, followed by the professional, with job satisfaction and leadership, and finally the patient, with satisfaction, attitudes, and behaviors. Conclusion: This study reinforces the need to establish, for management, a systematic method of monitoring the results achieved in the Lean Healthcare implementation phase. Since the value in this method is defined by the patient, further research in this aspect may lead to new evidence.
