This event was organized by the Appropriate Management Committee and the Appropriate Management Office. It aimed not only to maintain and manage medical institution accreditation but also to encourage all staff to play a crucial role in forming a patient safety culture. The purpose was to improve work processes within the medical institution and enhance patient safety and the quality of medical care.

In the first part, six teams were selected through preliminary screening to present oral presentations aimed at improving the quality of medical services: ▲Department of Pathology and Endoscopy Room (activities to reduce inappropriate cases during the receipt of endoscopic tissue pathology specimens) ▲Nursing Department CQI (verification of the effect of operating a focused care room for high fall-risk patients) ▲Comprehensive Health Screening Center (activities to attract comprehensive health screening customers) ▲Nursing Department (improving work performance and nurse job satisfaction through CPR simulation training) ▲Artificial Kidney Room (activities to increase efficiency and medical revenue through hemodialysis patient management) ▲Rehabilitation Treatment Center (activities to improve basic response system capabilities during emergencies).

In the second part, the patient coordinator from the Appropriate Management Office presented the 2024 Daedong Hospital-wide QI theme, "The Start of Patient Safety Begins with Accurate Patient Identification," sharing it with the staff.

Through the evaluation by the Appropriate Management Committee, consisting of Lee Kwang-jae, Chair of the Appropriate Management Committee (Director of Daedong Hospital and Endocrinology Specialist), and Kim Soo-hyung, Head of the Appropriate Management Office (Cardiology Specialist), the Department of Pathology and Endoscopy Room was selected as the grand prize winner.

Additionally, a QI poster exhibition was held for five days from the 16th in the first-floor lobby, promoting the activities to staff and external customers. Among a total of 19 departments, the Nursing Department (activities to improve fire response capabilities through fire drill simulations) was selected as the grand prize winner.

Kim Soo-hyung, Head of the Appropriate Management Office, stated, "The QI competition is an event that provides an opportunity to recognize once again the importance of improving the quality of medical services and patient safety culture, and to learn through networking. We hope that this competition served as an opportunity to explore ways to implement these practices in each person's work and contribute to further enhancing the quality of medical services. The Appropriate Management Office will continue to provide unwavering support for QI activities."
