Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the impact of implementing total quality management(TQM)with optimized clinical pathways in surgical departments.Methods From August 2023 to August 2024,we conducted a randomized controlled trial in-volving 80 surgical patients equally divided between a control group receiving conventional management and an observation group receiving the combined TQM-clinical pathway approach.The management quality,complication rate,and satisfaction were com-pared between the two groups.Results The management quality scores of the observation group in all dimensions were higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).The complication rate of the observation group was 7.50％,lower than the 37.50％ of the control group(P<0.05).The satisfaction rate of the observation group was 95.00％,higher than the 70.00％ of the con-trol group(P<0.05).Conclusion These findings indicate that integrating TQM principles with clinical pathway optimization effectively enhances surgical department performance by improving care quality,reducing complications,and increasing patient satisfaction.The combined approach warrants broader clinical adoption.
