Abstract: Objective: To explore the method of constructing an emergency nursing management system in the dental clinic under the circumstance of COVID-19. Methods: By using the theories and methods of modern emergency management, combined with the actual needs of emergency work, five management teams, including human resources, material support, infection prevention and control, patient management, and information management were set up. The management teams had worked independently and also cooperated closely with other administrative and clinical departments. Results: During the period of epidemic prevention and control, a total of 35 nurses were urgently deployed to strengthen the implementation of pre-examination, triage and emergency at each entrance. The material were planed and supplied in order. More than 1?400 patients were successfully admitted without cross-infection, and the information was collected and released on time. Conclusion: The construction of the emergency nursing management system in the dental clinic plays an important role in the prevention and control of the epidemic, which makes the work organized and implemented orderly. The nursing team was highly disciplined and efficient, and the effect of emergency management is evident. This study provides a reference for oral medical institutions to organize diagnosis and treatment work in an orderly manner, manage personnel effectively and prevent cross-infection when fighting the epidemic caused by COVID-19.
