Application of PDCA Cycle in Reducing Utilization Rate and Intensity of Antibiotics in Pediatric Inpatients
Objective: To investigate the effect of PDCA cycle in reducing the utilization rate and intensity of antibiotics in pediatric inpatients. Methods: From Jan. to Jun. 2022
the utilization rate and intensity of antibiotics in pediatric inpatients in our hospital were not up to the standard. PDCA cycle method was used for intervention. After intervention (from Jul. to Dec. 2022)
the utilization rate and intensity of antibiotics in pediatric inpatients were analyzed. Results: After implementation of PDCA cycle management
the utilization rate and intensity of antibiotics in pediatric inpatients at our hospital showed a monthly decline. From Sept. to Dec. 2022
these metrics stabilized within the hospital standards. Conclusion: The application of PDCA cycle management for quality control of antibiotics utilization in pediatric inpatients in our hospital has demonstrated significant effectiveness in reducing both the utilization rate and intensity of antibiotics in pediatric inpatients.
