Application practice of quality control circle in reducing drug damage rate in inpatient pharmacy
Objective To explore the application of Quality Control Circles(QCC)in reducing drug breakage rates in pharmacy.Methods Within the pharmacy,a suitable team of individuals was selected to form a Quality Control Circle.A Gantt chart was employed to outline the entire plan for QCC activities.The Pareto and 80/20 rule were utilized to determine the key points of improvement for reducing drug breakage rates in pharmacy.Through brainstorming sessions involving all staff members,essential causes were derived by fish-bone diagrams,countermeasures were formulated,and then implemented.The PDCA(Plan-Do-Check-Act)cycle was employed to drive continuous improvement.The reduction value of drug breakage rates before and after the improvement was compared to validate the effectiveness of the QCC method.The growth of circle members was also assessed before and after the implementation of QCC activities.Results Through this QCC activity,there was a significant decrease in drug breakage rates in our hospital's inpatient pharmacy,dropping from 4.99‱ to 2.12‱.The target achievement rate reached 95.34%,and the progress rate was 57.51%.Conclusion Quality Control Circle activities have proven effective in reducing drug breakage rates in pharmacy.Which not only reduces economic losses for the hospital and conserves resources,but also enhances pharmacists'sense of responsibility and cost-consciousness.
