Practice and Discussion on Continuously Reducing Image Equipment Failures Based on Deming Circle Quality Management
Objective:To apply PDCA quality management method to reduce the failure rate of imaging equipment in public hospitals,explore the effect of PDCA cycle.Methods:In equipment failure management,and control the continuous reduction of the failure rate of imaging equipment.Methods:PDCA cycle management tool was used to continuously reduce the failure rate of imaging equipment.Analyze and compare the maintenance cost and failure rate of the three-year implementation with the actual cost and failure statistics.Results:An effective path to continuously reduce the failure rate of medical equipment was established through PDCA cycle.After three years of data statistics on the failure rate of key departments such as CT,MRI,radiology,ultrasound and other equipment,the failure rates of CT,MRI,radiological,and ultrasound imaging equipment that effectively carried out PDCA quality control decreased by 24.24%,22.86%,28.01%,and 35.42%over the past three years,respectively,while the failure rates of other equipment that did not effectively carry out PDCA quality control increased by 14.62%.Conclusion:The application of PDCA cycle can effectively reduce the failure rate of imaging equipment,which is an effective preventive maintenance mode,and lays a foundation for the smooth implementation of PDCA cycle management of medical equipment.
