Objective  To evaluate the application effect of quality control circle (QCC) in improving the number of cases received in the follow-up management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods  The outpatient and inpatient CKD patients who were filed in the CKD follow-up management center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March 10 to October 10, 2020 were selected. We analyzed the reasons that affected CKD patients’ willingness to file by carrying out QCC, improved the case collection by establishing standardized processes, broadened the collection channels, established a collective team, strengthened training management and education of CKD patients and their families, so as to increase the number of cases received in CKD follow-up management. Then, we observed the score of active ability of QCC members before and after this activity. Results  After the implementation of QCC activities, the number of follow-up cases increased from 8 per month to 15 per month. The target achievement rate was 140%, and the progress rate was 87.5%. The ability of all circle members in the evaluation indicators of team training has been improved. Conclusions  QCC activity can effectively improve the number of cases received in CKD follow-up management. It is helpful for the medical staff to provide better disease management for CKD patients.
