Abstract:

Objective

To explore the application effect of the Six Sigma management method in the efficiency of interventional surgical table work.

Methods

Using a before-and-after comparison method， 218 patients who underwent interventional surgery in the composite operating room of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from April to June 2021 before the improvement were selected as the control group， and 230 patients who underwent interventional surgery in the composite operating room of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from August to October 2022 after the improvement were selected as the observation group.The five links of definition， measurement， analysis， improvement， and control in the Six Sigma management method were used to carry out the work in sequence， collect the existing problems in surgical reception work， analyze the reasons affecting the efficiency of reception work， take targeted measures， and conduct quality monitoring.Compare the on-time opening rate， preoperative preparation time， incidence of adverse events， and patient nursing satisfaction of the first surgery in two groups before and after improvement.

Result

The on-time opening rate of the first surgery in the observation group （98.0%） was higher than that in the control group （82.0%），and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）； the preoperative preparation time of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group， and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.001）； the incidence of adverse events in the observation group （0.4%） was lower than that in the control group （2.8%），and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）； the nursing satisfaction score of the observation group was 92.00 （90.00， 96.00）， higher than that of the control group （82.00， 79.00， 86.00）， and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.001）.

Conclusion

The application of the Six Sigma management method can optimize the surgical docking workflow and improve the efficiency of interventional surgical docking work.
