Objective To analyze the effect of optimizing work based on Total Quality Control Theory in health checkup nursing quality management. Methods Eighty patients admitted for health checkups before (January to December 2023) and after (January to December 2024) of the implementation of the Total Quality Control management model were selected and included in the control group and observation group, respectively. The waiting time and total examination time of the two groups were statistically analyzed.

The occurrence of nursing loopholes and adverse events related to the examination were also statistically analyzed. Results The observation group had shorter waiting time and total examination time compared to the control group, higher GCQ scores, and lower rates of nursing errors and adverse events related to health checkups. All assessment indicators showed statistically significant differences between the groups (P < 0.05).
