Objective To explore the application of PDCA cycle in the examination of medical quality of Tibetan area hospitals. Methods In the October 2014, PDCA cycle theory was introduced into the examination of Tibetan hospital medical quality. We collected quality problems existing in the medical activities actively, analyzed the reason and influencing factors and made corresponding plans. Then we implemented the plans and measures strictly, surveyed the results, found out and analyzed the problems, summarized the results of the examination, and turned the unsolved problems to the next PDCA circulation. Continuous follow-up was performed until the results were satisfactory. Based on Sichuan Province Secondary Comprehensive Hospital Evaluation Standard, we analyzed the medical quality of the hospital before PDCA application (July to September 2014) and after PDCA application (October to December 2014). Results The incidence of medical nursing documents writing defects decreased from 12.4% to 5.9%. Hospital infection management defect rate declined from 13.5% to 5.3% and drug safety management defect rate declined from 11.8% to 2.5%, and all the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion PDCA cycle in the Tibetan hospital for medical quality examination has greatly improved the medical quality of Tibetan hospitals.
