Improving the rate of pathogen examination before antibiotic treatment is of great significance for clarifying pathogen diagnosis and curbing bacterial resistance, and is also one of the important goals for improving national medical quality and safety. In response to the current problem of low pathogen examination rates, Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital adopts a FOCUS-PDCA model, has explored measures such as current situation investigation, root cause analysis, intervention plan formulation, countermeasure implementation, and effect evaluation to improve the rate of pathogen examination before antibiotic treatment in inpatients. This article mainly elaborates on the above model, which has practical significance for ensuring the rational use of antibiotics in inpatients.
