Key Quality Control Indicators (KQCIs) are a set of standardized indicators used in healthcare facilities to monitor and evaluate medical processes and outcomes. These indicators help medical staff to assess whether the quality of care is in line with norms, locate problems, and take targeted measures for improvement.
Key quality control indicators can be categorized according to different characteristics and purposes. For example, medical organizations can select different indicators based on the type of disease or surgery. In addition, key QC indicators can be categorized into structural, process and outcome indicators. Structural indicators focus on infrastructure such as personnel, equipment, and environment; process indicators focus on the actual operational procedures in the medical process; and outcome indicators are used to measure medical effects and treatment results, which include indicators such as patient satisfaction.
Key quality control indicators are very important for the development of healthcare organizations and the provision of quality healthcare services. They can achieve efficient management of hospitals, standardize treatment processes, improve the quality of medical services, and protect the safety and interests of patients. In addition, key quality control indicators can also provide scientific management decision support for medical organizations and promote the continuous improvement of medical services. Therefore, medical institutions should pay attention to the selection and implementation of key quality control indicators when carrying out quality control.
