Clinical Practice of PDCA Cycle Method in Improving the Pathogen Detection Rate Before Antimicrobial Treatment
Objective To investigate the application effect of PDCA cycle method in improving the pathogen detection rate of inpatients before antimicrobial treatment.Methods Through the hospital information system and the xinglin hospital infection management information system,select 37 124 inpatients with systemic use of antibiotics,7 837 inpatients with special grade antibiotics and 29 493 inpatients with restricted grade antibiotics in the hospital from January to December 2021(before PDCA management)for therapeutic purposes were selected as the control group,26 558 inpatients with systemic use of antibiotics,7 919 inpatients with special grade antibiotics and 24 433 inpatients with restricted grade antibiotics in the hospital from January to December 2022(after PDCA management)for therapeutic purposes were selected as the observation group.PDCA cycle method was used to comprehensively manage the pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial treatment by investigating the current situation,analyzing the reasons,formulating plans,implementing plans,and other steps.The differences in the pathogen detection rate before and after antimicrobial treatment in inpatients were compared.Results After management,the pathogen detection rates of systemic antibiotics,special grade antibiotics,and restricted grade antibiotics in the observation group were 60.86%,97.34%,and 89.50%,which were significantly higher than 56.61%,86.91%,and 64.29%in the control group(P<0.001).Conclusion PDCA cycle management tool can effectively improve the pathogen detection rate of inpatients before antimicrobial treatment.
