Information Management Requirements of Interventional Surgery Based on the Perioperative Patient-Focused Model: A Qualitative Study

Abstract

<title>Abstract</title> Background: In recent years, information management systems (IMS) have been increasingly adopted by healthcare institutions to standardize workflows, reduce human error, and improve decision-making efficiency. Although IMS support documentation automation, equipment tracking, and vital sign monitoring in interventional surgery, existing systems emphasize operational efficiency over holistic patient-centered care. The perioperative patient-focused model provides a theoretical framework encompassing patient safety, physiological responses, behavioral responses, and healthcare system environment, along with highlighting the need for solutions for patient-centered care. However, only a few studies have explored whether IMS can be adapted to these dimensions in interventional surgery, particularly in resource-limited settings. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the information management requirements of interventional surgery from the perspective of the perioperative patient-focused model, serving as a reference for constructing a scientific and standardized management system. Methods: Healthcare professionals in interventional surgery from a tertiary hospital in Suzhou were selected for semi-structured interviews utilizing purposive sampling. The themes from the interview data were analyzed, summarized, and extracted by applying Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis method. Results: The following four themes were identified: (1) optimization needs of the function of patient safety assurance, (2) improvement requirements of perioperative physiological monitoring and intervention, (3) need for the assessment and support of patient behavioral responses, and (4) improvement requirements for the management of healthcare system environment. Conclusions: The information management requirements of perioperative patients are multidimensional and diverse. Healthcare professionals should prioritize assessment and implement targeted interventions addressing patient safety, physiological responses, behavioral patterns, and healthcare system environments to enhance perioperative management and ensure patient safety and health.
