RESUMO
Objective:To discuss the implementation and experience of the quality control circle ( QCC) activi-ty in shortening the interval time of consecutive operation and speeding up the turnover of operating table. Method:We formed a QCC team and explored the influential factors of the interval time of consecutive operation using quali-ty control technique. We found out the real reason, put forward corresponding countermeasures, and organized the implementation. Results: Before the implementation of QCC, the average interval time of consecutive operation was 24. 6 minutes, whereas it decreased to 16. 2 minutes after the implementation of QCC with the progress rate of 64. 87%. Through the QCC activities, the problem-solving ability, responsibility, communication and coordina-tion ability, motivation, confidence, team cohesion, and the use of quality control technique of the QCC members has improved significantly. Conclusion:Through the quality management tools of QCC, the interval time of con-secutive operation has greatly shorten, the turnover of operation table has improved, and doctors′ and operating room nurses′satisfaction has improved significantly.
