Abstract: Objective To evaluate the application value of quality control circle (QCC) activities in reducing the management time of medical consumables for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) among nurses. Methods A QCC project team consisting of 9 relevant personnel was established, and the theme of the QCC activities was “Reduce the management time of LC medical consumables among nurses”. Using the inspection method, the average management time of LC medical consumables among nurses was identified. Through the fishbone diagram, the causes were analyzed, and the true causes were identified. After formulating countermeasures, the Deming cycle method was used to implement corrective measures. Results The QCC activities improved the sense of responsibility, happiness, enthusiasm, cohesion, harmony, communication and cooperation, quality control methods, and problem-solving abilities of the team members. The management time of medical consumables in the operating room was reduced from 11.7 min to 5 min, a reduction of 52.3%. Conclusion Through QCC activities, the management time of LC medical consumables among nurses is significantly shortened, with enhanced ability to quality control. The application of QCC in the field of improving consumables management during surgery is relatively rare, and this article can provide a useful reference for solving similar problems.
