Objective To explore the application effect of a multi-party collaboration system based on information technology in the management of preventing inpatients from getting lost. Methods All inpatients admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases of a tertiary hospital in Nanchong City from April 2023 to March 2025 were selected as the research subjects. After inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1856 patients admitted from April 2023 to April 1, 2024 were the control group, and 1,932 patients admitted from April 2024 to March 2025 were the experimental group. The control group received routine care, while the experimental group utilized a multi-party collaboration system based on information technology. Results The incidence of lost inpatients in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P< 0.05), and the 1-hour recovery rate of lost inpatients in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P< 0.05). The satisfaction of the patients in the experimental group with the safety management methods and effects of the department was significantly higher than that of the control group (P< 0.05). Conclusion The application of the multi-party collaboration system based on information technology in the prevention and management of lost inpatients can effectively reduce the incidence of lost inpatients. At the same time, it can more efficiently enhance the search efficiency, increase the one-hour recovery rate of lost patients, and ensure the safety of patients. It can also enhance the satisfaction of patients with the management of the department.
