A Study on the Improvement of Nursing Interruption Risk by a Closed-Loop Management Model

Area of Science:

• Healthcare Management
• Patient Safety
• Nursing Practice

Background:

• Nursing disruption events pose risks to patient safety and healthcare efficiency.
• Traditional management methods may not adequately address these disruptions.
• Optimizing nursing workflows is crucial for quality patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the impact of closed-loop management on nursing disruption risk.
• To assess changes in key performance indicators related to nursing practice.
• To determine the effectiveness of closed-loop management in improving healthcare processes.

Main Methods:

• A quasi-experimental study involving 20 nurses.
• Comparison of a control group (traditional method) and an experimental group (closed-loop management).
• Data collected on disruption frequency, order accuracy, drug delivery time, PDA scanning, and risk reporting before and after implementation.

Main Results:

• Significant reduction in nursing disruption frequency and average drug delivery time (p < 0.05).
• Significant increase in accuracy of doctors' advice, PDA code scanning implementation, and risk-outcome reporting (p < 0.05).
• Closed-loop management demonstrated statistically significant improvements across all measured indicators.

Conclusions:

• Closed-loop management effectively reduces the occurrence of nursing disruption events.
• This model optimizes patient care outcomes and enhances medical work processes.
• Implementation of closed-loop management leads to significant improvements in nursing practice and patient safety.
