Objective To analyze the effectiveness of PDCA cycle model in antibiotics management by comparison of antibiotics use before and after the use of PDCA in a tertiary hospital. Methods Prospective study was adopted to analyze the using rate of antibiotics in outpatients, emergent patients and inpatients between June 2011 and December 2013. Results The reasonable antibiotics use was improved since the beginning of PDCA cycle model. The antibiotics using rates of outpatients were 33.00%, 29.09% and 19.31%, of emergent patients were 45.00%, 32.81% and 28.94%, and of inpatients were 71.00%, 57.76% and 53.28% in year 2011 (from June to December), 2012 (from January to December) and 2013 (from January to December) respectively. Meanwhile, ClassⅠ incision antimicrobial use also decreased and bacteria examination rate continuously increased during the last three years. As a consequence, patients' cost was reduced. Conclusion The PDCA cycle model promotes the standardized management of clinical medication application.
