Abstract：Objective To discuss the effect of quality control circle (QCC) activity in improving glucose control rate in out-of-hospital patients with diabetes.Methods The out-of-hospital patients with diabetes (n=801) were chosen from Aug. 2011 to Dec. 2013. A QCC group was set up and the theme of “improving the glucose control rate in out-patients with diabetes” was established. The main reasons of lower glucose control rate were identified through group discussion, questionnaire and phone review, and then the rectification measures were planned, and expected target was defined. The activity was carried out according to the QCC procedure. The service quality satisfaction, treatment adherence, diabetic cognition rate and glucose control rate in all out-of-hospital patients were compared before and after QCC activity.Results Before QCC activity, the service quality satisfaction was 77.8% (623/801), treatment adherence, 70.2% (562/801), diabetic cognition rate, 60.3% (483/801), and glucose control rate, 64.4%(516/801). After QCC activity, the service quality satisfaction was 93.9%% (752/801), treatment adherence, 94.9%%(760/801), diabetic cognition rate, 85.0% (681/801), and glucose control rate, 86.3% (691/801). All indexes had increased after QCC activity and the difference had statistical significance (P<0.01).Conclusion QCC activity can be applied in the health management in out-of-hospital patients with diabetes for increasing glucose control rate.
