ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of quality control circle (QCC) activity in reducing the temporarily stopping rate of day surgery.MethodsThe QCC activity was carried out from December 2018 to October 2019. By determining the theme of the activity and drawing up the plan, a retrospective analysis of pre-hospital day surgery stoppage status and reasons was performed based on 2 696 patients who had reserved surgery in the day surgery center from December 2018 to February 2019. Based on the data, the goal was determined, and measures were developed and confirmed from May to August 2019. Then the measures were standardized and implemented continuously from September to October 2019. The rate of surgical cessation before the implementation of the measures (from December 2018 to February 2019) was compared with that after the implementation of the measures (from September to October 2019).ResultsAfter the QCC activity, the temporarily stopping rate decreased from 2.89% to 1.34%, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001).ConclusionThe QCC activity can effectively reduce the temporarily stopping rate of day surgery, and lay the foundation for continuously promoting the optimization of day surgery resources and quality improvement.
Objective To explore the effect of sequential nutritional intervention mode on improving early postoperative nutritional status in patients with gastric cancer. Methods A total of 30 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Ningbo No.2 Hospital between June and August 2022 were selected as the tiral group by convenience sampling, and another 30 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer between September 2021 and January 2022 were retrospectively selected as the control group. The trial group received the sequential nutritional intervention model constructed by quality control circle activities in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, and the control group received routine nutritional support. The nutritional status and quality of life of the two groups were evaluated one month after discharge. Results Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) score, serum albumin, serum prealbumin, body weight, or Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ C30) score between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, both groups showed improvements in PG-SGA score, serum albumin, and serum prealbumin compared to before intervention (P<0.05); there was no significant change in body weight in the trial group (P>0.05), while the control group experienced a decrease in body weight (P<0.05); the trial group showed an improvement in QLQ C30 score (P<0.05), whereas the control group did not show significant change in QLQ C30 score (P>0.05). Compared to the control group after intervention, the trial group showed better PG-SGA score (7.97±1.65 vs. 8.83±1.26), serum albumin level [(40.61±1.30) vs. (39.93±0.78) g/L], serum prealbumin level [(0.266±0.030) vs. (0.229±0.051) g/L], body weight [(63.12±7.39) vs. (58.17±9.18) kg], and QLQ C30 score (62.63±9.01 vs. 57.23±7.13), with all differences being statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Sequential nutritional intervention model is helpful to improve the early nutritional status and quality of life of patients after radical gastrectomy, and has clinical promotion value.
Objective To explore the application of quality control circle in reducing the same-day cancellation rate of day surgery. Methods A quality control circle team was set up, and determined the theme of reducing the same-day cancellation rate of day surgery. A survey was conducted among all patients who had made appointments for day surgeries at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University between August and October 2023. The number of patients who cancelled their surgeries on the day and the reasons for their cancellations were recorded. Based on the ten steps of the quality control circle, relevant measures and improvement processes were formulated. In March 2024, the same-day cancellation rate of day surgery after the quality control circle activity was analyzed. Results The same-day cancellation rate decreased from 2.39% to 0.67%, the target achievement rate was 135.43%, and the progress rate was 71.97%. Conclusion The quality control circle activity can effectively reduce the same-day cancellation rate of day surgery.
Objective To observe the effect of quality control circle (QCC) management tools to improve the electronic medical record timely writing rate. Methods Between June 2014 and January 2015, we used QCC to manage electronic medical record timely writing rate. By determining the subjects, investigation of the status quo, factor analysis, and and formulation and implementation of strategies, we tried to improve the electronic medical record timely writing rate.
