Abstract:
Objective To explore the application value of the Plan-Do-Check-Act(PDCA)cycle in the refined whole-process management of low-value medical consumables.Methods Using the PDCA cycle as a framework,the Plan phase in-volved analyzing the causes of traceability difficulties for low-value medical consumables.The Do phase implemented multiple im-provement measures,including establishing standardized management systems,strengthening personnel supervision,creating a split-item tertiary inventory,and introducing the Unique Device Identification(UDI)system.The Check phase evaluated man-agement effectiveness by comparing data from June to December 2023 and June to December 2024.The Act phase refined institu-tional norms and operational processes through a closed-loop feedback mechanism.Results After PDCA management,the appli-cation time for low-value medical consumables[(6.16±1.47)min]and the collection time[(15.08±1.89)min]were signif-icantly shorter than before implementation(P＜0.001).The acceptance qualification rate increased from 92.96％to 99.11％.The application of the split-item tertiary inventory ensured synchronization between inventory deduction and billing data.Conclu-sion The PDCA cycle improves the traceability of low-value medical consumables through systematic quality improvement.Its dynamic feedback mechanism supports continuous improvement,providing an effective pathway for hospitals to achieve refined management and cost control.
