Abstract：Objective:To explore the application method and effect of quality control circle(QCC)in the management of safe handover of surgical patients. Methods:The QCC activities were conducted and the procedures were performed,including investigation on the current status,analysis of the causes,development of strategies,organization and implementation,verification of the effectiveness. Results:There was statistically significant difference in the comparison of rate of defects in handover of the patients before and after the implementation of QCC(χ2 = 10. 959,P = 0. 001);the up - to - target rate was 126% ,the rate of improvement was 73% ;the comparison of the handover time in the operation room was significantly different before and after its implementation(t = 68. 21,P ﹤ 0. 01);the comparison of the han-dover time in the ward was significantly different before and after its implementation(t = 38. 99,P ﹤ 0. 01);the rate of initiative handover by nurses was significantly different before and after its implementation(P ﹤ 0. 01,χ2 = 484. 24). Conclusion:Implementation of QCC can reduce the defect rate and ensure the safety of surgical patients and improve the consciousness of safety management,innovation and team collaboration of nurses.
