Using Delphi to analyze the difference including information delivery methods,reliability, timeliness, accuracy of 8 indicators between the 20 institutions using management platform and other 16 institutions not using it. Results  The overall arrival rate were 85.56%(539/630)and 92.64%(592/639)(χ2=16.45,P<0.01),the tracking in place rate were 63.89%(161/252)and 79.20%(179/226)(χ2=13.61,P<0.01), the review on time rate after 5 months were 76.76%(185/241) and 94.29%(198/210)(χ2=26.91,P<0.5),the loss rate were 3.97%(11/277) and 0.84%(2/239)(χ2=5.13,P<0.05) respectively before and after using management platform. The differences were all statistically significant.
