During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emergency, many hospitals were built or renovated around the world to meet the challenges posed by the rising number of infected cases. Environmental management in the hospital life cycle is vital in preventing nosocomial infection and includes many infection control procedures. In certain urgent situations, a hospital must be completed quickly, and work process approval and supervision must therefore be accelerated. Thus, many works cannot be checked in detail. This results in a lack of work liability control and increases the difficulty of ensuring the fulfillment of key infection prevention measures. This study investigates how blockchain technology can transform the work quality inspection workflow to assist in nosocomial infection control under a fast delivery requirement. A blockchain-based life-cycle environmental management framework is proposed to track the fulfillment of crucial infection control measures in the design, construction, and operation stages of hospitals. The proposed framework allows for work quality checking after the work is completed, when some work cannot be checked on time. Illustrative use cases are selected to demonstrate the capabilities of the developed solution. This study provides new insights into applying blockchain technology to address the challenge of environmental management brought by rapid delivery requirements.

COVID-19 背景下医院基于区块链的生命周期环境管理框架

在 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 紧急情况期间,世界各地建造或翻新了许多医院,以应对感染病例数量不断增加带来的挑战。医院生命周期中的环境管理对于预防院内感染至关重要,包括许多感染控制程序。在某些紧急情况下,医院必须尽快建成,因此必须加快工作流程审批和监管。因此,许多作品无法详细检查。这导致工作责任控制的缺失,增加了确保重点感染预防措施落实的难度。本研究调查了区块链技术如何改变工作质量检查工作流程,以在快速交付要求下协助院内感染控制。提出了一种基于区块链的生命周期环境管理框架,以跟踪医院设计、建设和运营阶段关键感染控制措施的执行情况。当某些工作无法按时检查时,建议的框架允许在工作完成后进行工作质量检查。选择说明性用例来展示所开发解决方案的功能。本研究为应用区块链技术解决快速交付要求带来的环境管理挑战提供了新的见解。当某些工作不能按时检查时。选择说明性用例来展示所开发解决方案的功能。本研究为应用区块链技术解决快速交付要求带来的环境管理挑战提供了新的见解。当某些工作不能按时检查时。选择说明性用例来展示所开发解决方案的功能。本研究为应用区块链技术解决快速交付要求带来的环境管理挑战提供了新的见解。
