Methods: We improved time-out compliance rate by using PDCA-cycle (a quality improvement tools). Data were collected before and after the implementation of PDCA-cycle. The results were analyzed. Results: After implementation of PDCA-cycle, over all time-out compliance rate was increased from 80% to 99.8% (P=0.000). The compliance rate of identifying patient, performing site marking before surgery, verification of correct-site and correct procedure were increased from 85.1%, 79.2%, 89.7% and 89.1% to 99.8%, 99.9%, 100% and 100% (P〈0.05) respectively. Conclusion: Our study validated the PDCA-cycle methodology improves time-out compliance rate, and it is one of the most effective quality improvement tools for hospital management.展开更多
