Abstract :

Aim: To explore whether the PDCA cycle method (plan, do, check and act) is helpful to improve the etiological diagnosis rate of acute pancreatitis. Methods: The existing etiological diagnosis data of acute pancreatitis were analyzed from 2005 to 2008 according to the database of acute pancreatitis in our department. The PDCA cycle method was applied to analyze the reason of low etiological diagnosis rate, and then improvement plan was formulated and executed, and the effect was assessed. The etiological diagnosis rate for each year from 2009 to 2014 was calculated and analyzed. Results: The process of etiological diagnosis was standardized by means of PDCA cycle. The ratio of idiopathic acute pancreatitis (IAP) was on a generally downward trend, from 26.8% in 2008 to 6.1% in 2014. Accordingly, the etiological diagnosis rate of acute pancreatitis was on a generally upward trend, from 73.2% in 2008 to 93.9% in 2014. Conclusion: PDCA cycle method is helpful to improve the etiological diagnosis rate of acute pancreatitis.
