In early 2020, Hong Kong and worldwide were hit by the COVID-19 epidemic. With collective effort, UCH had established and implemented various contingency plans and timely measures to combat the epidemic, which included setting up hospital isolation facilities, ensuring stable supply of critical personal protective equipment, adopting service adjustment and providing support on human resources etc. In addition, a cluster-based infectious disease network at KEC had been established for expanding service coverage and improving coordination and infectious disease management.
To tide in with the strategic direction set out in the “KEC Clinical Service Plan”, the Oncology Department was established in UCH in 2016. UCH was committed to provide quality cancer service. While actively planning for a cancer centre in the new ambulatory block of the UCH expansion project, the hospital commenced to provide new acute oncology beds for inpatients in this year. Chemotherapy services and cancer case management services were enhanced to increase the service throughput for day patients and breast cancer patients respectively. This had facilitated timely diagnosis, treatment planning and related support for cancer patients in our local community.
On ambulatory care services, UCH had lifted up the capacity through addition of the specialist outpatient clinic (SOPC) attendances as well as allied health outpatient attendances for paediatric and adolescent psychiatric patients at KEC. Rehabilitation care was further improved this year with addition of needs assessments for elderly patients with hip fracture and acute stroke in order to enhance post-discharge support for them. In addition, a cluster- based nursing triage team had been set up to facilitate pre-discharge planning.
UCH has been striving for excellence in upholding patient safety and providing quality services. Through multi-disciplinary and cross- hospital collaboration, the hospital launched the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programme last year for patients undergoing
