Filter by:Objective: The purposes of this study are 1) to understand the nurses' need and perception toward of the monitoring information system of nursing-related patient safety and quality indicators; 2) to establish the monitoring information system of nursing-related patient safety and quality indicators; 3) to evaluate the monitoring information system of nursing-related patient safety and quality indicators. Methods: There will be three phases and the study site in the medical center in northern Taiwan. The first phase is information needs assessment. Researchers will hold the meeting of focus group discussion. The subjects will be the nursing manager, head nurse, clinical nurses who are similar to nursing-related patient safety and quality indicators. The self-conducted semi-structure discussion form will be used to collect the data during the meeting of focus group discussion. The questionnaire will be used to collect the perception, attitude, behavior, satisfaction, time-consuming and the accuracy of nursing-related patient safety and quality indicators data from nurses. The second phase will establish the monitoring information system of nursing-related patient safety and quality indicators and clinical implementation. The third phase will evaluate the effectiveness of the monitoring information system of nursing-related patient safety and quality indicators. The questionnaire will be used to collect the satisfaction, time-consuming and the accuracy of nursing-related patient safety and quality indicators from nurses during the evaluation phase.
Complex service interventions are neither smooth nor easy in any transitioning healthcare facility. Simulations performed in the new environment reinforce patient safety by uncovering safety threats, enabling their correction, and orienting hospital staff. This study expands upon patient safety successes at several institutions to measurably enhance patient safety at upcoming new inpatient facilities.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of eliminating traditional resident work shifts (i.e. greater than 24 hours in length) on patient safety and resident educational outcomes. In addition, the investigators will explore with key stakeholders (patients and their families, nurses, resident physicians and attending physicians) their experiences when residents are undertaking shifts greater than 24 hours in length as compared to 16 hours or less.
