Background: competition in the healthcare market is becoming increasingly intense. Health technology continues to evolve, so hospitals and clinics need to strengthen hospital management techniques and also adopt a more patient-centered approach in order to provide high-quality healthcare services, including a more simplified process and shorter waiting times for examinations. The Lean and Six Sigma methodologies and smart technology were introduced and implemented into the integrated perioperative management (PERIO) processes for the purpose of decreasing pre-admission management waiting time, as well as increasing the completion rate and quality of pre-admission management for surgical patients in a 1576-bed medical center in central Taiwan.

- The study investigated sensory evoked potentials in children with Wilson disease to determine if there was hidden neurological involvement and how cirrhosis might affect these potentials in non-neurologic cases.
- Thirty children with an average age of 15.8 years participated, revealing that 12 with neurological symptoms had significantly longer latencies in brainstem auditory and somatosensory evoked potentials compared to controls.
- In contrast, among the 18 children with non-neurologic Wilson disease, some prolonged latencies were observed, but no significant differences were found between cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients regarding their evoked potentials.
