Abstract

Objective: To explore quality control circle (QCC) application in the security management of surgical instrument traceability. Methods: QCC team is composed of 7 individuals who analyze security management of surgical instrument traceability and take appropriate steps to resolve existing deficiencies. Results: The surgical instrument failure rate dropped from 8.12%-3.45% (P<0.0015) Conclusion: The method of QCC achieved satisfactory results when applied to the security management of surgical instrument traceability leading to increased safety of surgical patients.
