Abstract
PURPOSE
To investigate how to shorten patient wait times between continuous ocular operations and to evaluate the influence of a quality control circle (QCC) on operating room management.
METHODS
QCC management was established to conduct activities. Clinical data were collected to analyze the causes of long wait times between continuous surgeries. Effective measures were undertaken correspondingly.
RESULTS
The staff from QCC actively undertook measures that would significantly shorten patient wait times between continuous ocular surgeries (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Multiple measures, such as setting up a QCC, enhancing the arrangement of surgical procedures, establishing effective communication channels, optimizing human resources, and integrating the use of instruments, can effectively shorten patient wait times between continuous vitreous or retinal surgeries.
期刊介绍:
Eye science was founded in 1985. It is a national medical journal supervised by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, sponsored by Sun Yat-sen University, and hosted by Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center (in October 2020, it was changed from a quarterly to a monthly, with the publication number: ISSN: 1000-4432; CN: 44-1119/R). It is edited by Ge Jian, former dean of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, Liu Yizhi, director and dean of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, and Lin Haotian, deputy director of Sun Yat-sen University Zhongshan Eye Center, as executive editor. It mainly reports on new developments and trends in the field of ophthalmology at home and abroad, focusing on basic research in ophthalmology, clinical experience, and theoretical knowledge and technical operations related to epidemiology. It has been included in important databases at home and abroad, such as Chemical Abstract (CA), China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), China Core Journals (Selection) Database (Wanfang), and Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP).
