Background:
Sensitive indicators of nursing quality focus on the core elements of nursing quality management. Nursing-sensitive quality indicators will play an increasingly important role in the macro and micro management of nursing quality in my country.
Objective:
This study were aimed at formulating the sensitive index management of orthopedic nursing quality based on individual nurses for improvement of the quality of orthopedic nursing.
Methods:
Based on the previous literature, the existing challenges in the early application of the orthopedic nursing quality evaluation index were summarized. Moreover, the management system of the orthopedic nursing quality-sensitive index based on individual nurses was devised and implemented, including monitoring the structure and result indices of individual nurses on duty and sampling the process indicators of patients managed by individual nurses. At the quarter-end, the data analysis was performed and fed back to determine the key points of the changes in the quality of specialized nursing affecting the individual, and the PDCA method was utilized for persistent improvement. The changes of sensitive indices of orthopedic nursing quality before (July-December 2018) and 6 months after implementation (July-December 2019) were compared.
Results:
There were significant differences in other indices (accuracy of limb blood circulation assessment/accuracy of pain assessment/postural care pass rate/accuracy of rehabilitation behavioral training/satisfaction of discharged patients) (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
The formulation of an individual-based orthopedic nursing quality-sensitive index management system modifies the traditional quality management model, improves the specialized nursing level, contributes to the accurate core competence training of specialized nursing, and improves the quality of specialized nursing of individual nurses. Consequently, there is an overall improvement in the specialized nursing quality of the department, and fine management is attained.
