Application of plan-do-check-action cycle in quality management of intravenous infusion devices / 中华临床营养杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the role of the plan-do-check-action(PDCA) cycle in the quality management of intravenous infusion devices.Methods Based on the self-controlled design and cross-sectional study, the application of intravenous infusion devices before and after the implementation of PDCA cycle was investigated and compared, and the role of PDCA cycle in intravenous infusion device was evaluated.ResultsThe patients treated with intravenous infusion of 38 departments were investigated (1 152 cases in stage P and 1 140 cases in stage C).After the application of PDCA cycle,the accuracy rate of intravenous infusion device use increased from 93.2％ to 97.4％ (χ2=13.030, P<0.001).The accuracy rate of needle indwelling (98.6％ vs.95.7％, χ2=8.894, P=0.003) and central venous catheter use (87.5％ vs.38.9％, χ2=12.963, P<0.001) significantly increased after the application of PDCA cycle.Conclusion The PDCA cycle can remarkably improve the management quality of intravenous infusion devices.
