Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the application value of the PDCA cycle in increasing the rate of timely completion of a rapid frozen-section pathological report.Methods:The basic data of 1 926 rapid frozen section pathological reports not managed by the PDCA cycle in the Department of Pathology, Zhoushan Hospital, during January to August 2019 were collected. The number of pathological reports completed within 30 minutes and the rate of timely completion of pathological reports were calculated and compared with those calculated based on 1 051 pathological reports managed by the PDCA cycle during September to December 2019.Results:After management by the PDCA cycle, the rate of timely completion of frozen-section pathological reports was significantly increased from (84.51 ± 3.61)% to (91.87 ± 1.37)% ( t = 3.86, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Application of the PDCA cycle to pathology management can help monitor the completion of pathological reports on frozen sections. This facilitates determination of reasonable intervention measures and thereby increases the rate of timely completion of pathological reports on frozen sections.
