摘要

Abstract

Objective

This study aims to analyze the application effects of different management models in the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD)

providing a reference for hospitals in selecting appropriate management models.

Methods

A systematic literature search was conducted in Web of Science

PubMed

CINAHL

the Cochrane Library

Scopus

Embase

China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI)

Wanfang Database

VIP Database

and China Biology Medicine disc (CBM). The search employed a combination of keywords and free-text terms

followed by a summary analysis. The search timeframe spanned from the inception of each database to July 31

2025.

Results

A total of 22 articles was included

involving nine management models: the centralized management model

scientific management theory model

integrated care model

refined management model

whole-process quality control (QC) model

Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle model

defect management model

quality collaboration management (QCM) chain model

and three-chain (3C) model. Based on their primary focus

these nine models were categorized into three orientations: process-oriented

QC-oriented

and responsibility chain-oriented. By analyzing their theoretical foundations

implementation processes

and typical cases

the commonalities and differences among the models were examined. Furthermore

the suitability of each model for hospitals of different scales was assessed based on their respective characteristics.

Conclusion

A horizontal analysis indicates that while the various CSSD management models have different emphases

their core objective is to improve CSSD management quality and instrument sterilization effectiveness. A vertical analysis reveals a developmental trend towards refinement

automation

and intelligence. All nine management models are suitable for large and medium-scale hospitals. However

only the scientific management theory and the PDCA cycle are suitable for small hospitals. Different hospitals should select appropriate management models based on their resource configurations and actual needs

and continuously refine them by integrating modern technologies to achieve efficient CSSD operation.
