    Hospital staff nurses, trained in specific criteria, identified more patients needing public health nursing services than liaison nurses. This approach proved more cost-effective without impacting job satisfaction.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Nursing Practice
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Agency partnerships are crucial for healthcare planning and program implementation amid cost containment.
    • Trisectoral collaborations involving hospitals, health departments, and academic institutions are vital for improving healthcare delivery.
    • Comparing referral decision-making processes is essential for optimizing patient care pathways.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy and efficiency of referral decisions made by hospital staff nurses versus public health liaison nurses (LNs).
    • To develop and implement an educational program to standardize referral decision criteria for staff nurses.
    • To evaluate the cost-effectiveness and patient refusal rates associated with different referral models.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • A trisectoral collaboration was established between a hospital, health department, and university school of nursing.
    • Decision criteria for patient referrals were identified and an educational program was developed for staff nurses.
    • A comparative analysis was conducted between staff nurses and liaison nurses regarding patient identification, cost, and job satisfaction.

    Main Results:

    • Staff nurses, utilizing the defined decision criteria, identified a greater number of patients requiring public health nursing visits compared to liaison nurses.
    • Patient refusal rates for public health nursing visits were comparable between the two groups.
    • The use of staff nurses for referrals was found to be more cost-effective than employing liaison nurses, with no significant alteration in job satisfaction for either group.

    Conclusions:

    • Implementing standardized decision criteria and educational programs empowers hospital staff nurses to effectively manage patient referrals to public health services.
    • This collaborative model demonstrates a more efficient and cost-effective approach to public health nursing referrals, enhancing resource utilization.
    • The project fostered inter-agency learning in research and evidence-based practice, promoting innovation in traditional healthcare delivery.
