Effect of the PDCA cycle method on report trun-around-time pass rates in emergency medicine testing
Objective To investigate the changes in report turn-around-trim(TAT)pass rates for emergency specimens after applying the PDCA cycle.Methods Statistical analysis of a total of 8 455 emergency samples reported to the Medical Laboratory Centre,Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital from January to April 2022;the report TAT pass rates were counted and the fishbone diagram was used to analyze the reasons for failure and treatment interventions;a total of 20 140 emergency specimens reports were counted from May 2022 to January 2023 after the application of the PDCA cycle method,and the changes in report TAT pass rates before and after the implementation of the PDCA cycle method were compared.Results After the implementation of PDCA,the pass rate of emergency specimen TAT was higher than that before the implementation of PDCA,and the difference was highly statistically significant(P＜0.001).Among different emergency procedures,except for immunoluminescence,the pass rates of emergency blood routine,urine routine,fecal routine,blood coagulation,and biochemical specimen TAT were all higher than those before the PDCA cycle,and the differences were highly statistically significant(P＜0.001).Conclusion Through the PDCA cycle method,the pass rate of the emergency sample TAT of the Medical Laboratory Centre,Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital has been significantly improved,which not only improves the testing efficiency and clinical services,but also plays an important role in the timely treatment of emergency and critical patients.
