Object:
To construct a quality evaluation indicator system for intravenous therapy nursing and identify deficiencies in clinical practice.
Methods:
Based on the structure-process-outcome framework, we developed through literature review, semi-structured interviews, and Delphi consultation (n = 22 experts). We used the analytic hierarchy process determined indicator weights. Validation included an empirical evaluation across 30 public hospitals using TOPSIS and RSR methods.
Results:
The finalized system comprises 3 first-level, 15 s-level, and 49 third-level indicators. Expert authority coefficients were 0.903/0.898; Kendall's W = 0.321/0.329 (P < 0.01). Hospital performance: total score = 84.09 ± 8.63 (structure = 14.90 ± 2.73; process = 33.77 ± 4.39; outcome = 35.42 ± 2.95). TOPSIS-RSR analysis identified H13, H3, and H27 as top performers and H4, H1, and H20 as needing improvement.
Conclusion:
The validated system effectively identifies clinical weaknesses and provides actionable insights for quality enhancement.
Clinical Trial Number:
Not applicable.

Nursing Clinical Information System
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Guidelines For Measuring Vital Signs
Before taking a patient's vital signs, a nurse would consider and assess the patient's comfort level and ensure appropriate equipment is available.
