Objective To investigate the construction and application of an IoT-and mobile-end digital platform for performance standard management of surgical patient transport staff. Methods From January to December, 2024, a total of 40 workers who had been in the operating room of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University for 1 year and only undertook the transfer of surgical patients and 200 surgical patients who needed to be transferred during the same period were selected as the research subjects. Non-randomized controlled quasi-experimental design was adopted, and individuals were matched according to the age and length of service of the workers. After matching, 40 workers were equally assigned to two groups, with 20 in each group. Each worker undertakes 5 cases of transshipment tasks, and 100 patients are included in each group. The control group adopts the conventional information dispatching mode, and the observation group adopts the information platform based on the Internet of Things and mobile terminals. The two groups were compared in terms of transport efficiency (average task response time, patient transport transit time, and surgical connection waiting time) and operating room utilization rate, and the incidence of adverse events.Satisfaction with the transport work was assessed through third-party administered anonymous questionnaires among both groups of transport staff and surgical department medical personnel. Results The average task response time, transit time, waiting time for operation connection in the observation group were (1.34±0.23) min, (12.13±2.13) min, (19.23±4.23) min, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the control group (5.67±1.67) min, (15.23±3.23) min, (28.34±7.23) min (all P＜0.05); and operating room utilization rate was (78.89± 4.34)% , which was significantly higher than that in the control group [(72.13±5.11)% ] (P＜0.05). No serious adverse events directly related to transport, such as patient falls, tube dislodgement, or handover errors, occurred in either group. The satisfaction scores of the workers in terms of fairness of task assignment, transparency of performance feedback and convenience of work were (4.36±0.42), (4.24± 0.45) and (4.14±0.48) respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control group (3.23±0.45), (2.67±0.56) and (3.23± 0.42). However, the satisfaction scores of medical staff in the operation department were (4.25±0.46), (4.27±0.58) and (4.18±0.47) respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (3.11±0.45), (3.26±0.51) and (3.41±0.42) (all P＜0.05). Conclusion The implementation of an IoT-based mobile information platform for surgical patient transfers enhances transfer efficiency under the premise of ensuring safety, improves operating room utilization, and receives high evaluation from nursing staff and surgical department medical personnel, demonstrating clinical application value.
