After training for medical staff, the check tables were filled, and relatively high frequency issues were followed up for quality tracking. The completion of preoperative preparation was compared between the two groups after operation. ResultsCompared with the control group, the completion of preoperative preparation and satisfaction of patients of the observation group were significantly higher and the operation delay was significantly lower (P<0.05).
