The Practice and Exploration of PDCA Cycle Method in Hospital Water-Saving Management
Hospitals have high personnel density and high mobility,making it difficult to save water.Therefore,it is an important,comprehensive,systematic and continuous work to minimize water consumption while ensuring the smooth operation of hospitals.In this study,with the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat sen University as the example,the PDCA cycle management method was applied to analyze the current situation of hospital water resource utilization and the reasons for the high comprehensive water consumption.Water conservation management was strengthened through a series of improvement measures such as improving relevant systems,conducting publicity and training,strengthening daily supervision and management,and adopting professional technical solutions to address deficiencies.After practice,the comprehensive water consumption of the hospital in 2022 was 607.35 L/(bed·d),which was reduced by 396.74 L/(bed·d)compared with that in 2020.Therefore,with significant application effects in hospital water-saving management with the PDCA cycle method,the level of water-saving management in hospitals was effectively improved,reducing the comprehensive water consumption of hospitals.
