Abstract

This article presents management processes for dealing with the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak at the West China Hospital of Sichuan University. From January to March 2020, the West China Hospital of Sichuan University established response structures and protocols, as well as integrated out-of-hospital resources, to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak. A total of 8066 patients were screened, and 345 COVID-19 patients were isolated for treatment. Hospital command systems, emergency management protocols, as well as process, space, and personnel management, strengthening material reserves, and social responsibility strategies were implemented. Outbreak management aspects that required improvement included estimates of the anticipated number of cases, timely collection of patient information and feedback on the effect of outreach and online consultation methods.
