Abstract

The Comprehensive Action Plan for Improving Medical Quality (2023–2025) issued in May 2023 proposed that medical institutions should strengthen basic quality and safety management, enhance key process and behavior management, and ensure patient safety in healthcare. Improving medical quality and safety not only safeguards public health rights but also constitutes a core aspect of hospital management. Establishing standardized operational procedures is an effective measure for enhancing medical quality and safety. Since August 2018, Deyang People’s Hospital has implemented a standardized laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure through collaborative efforts between administrative departments and multiple clinical departments, effectively ensuring patient safety and therapeutic outcomes. This article systematically elaborates on the development and implementation of standardized laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures for reference and sharing among peers.
