According to the hospital's policy, patients were sent to the Coronary Care Unit for close observation, catheter sheath removal, and bleeding checks after receiving interventional catheterization. In 2010, because of changes in health insurance programs, our hospital's policy was also modifi ed. Patients were directly returned to general wards after interventional catheterization, substantially increasing the stress and workload for nurses in these units, and the completion rate of postprocedural care was only 38% before the project. The main problems were nurses’ lack of continuing education and familiarity with Femostop operation as well as the lack of postinterventional catheterization care guidelines, checklists, and standard rules of usage. Therefore, the quality control team took the following actions: 1. Established postinterventional catheterization standards of care and implemented on-job training, 2. established a standard-of-care fl ow chart and checklist, and 3. established a Femostop operation fl ow chart and standard rules of usage. After 4 months, the quality of postinterventional catheterization nursing care improved significantly. The completion rate of postprocedural care was increased to 92%. In conclusion, this project improved general ward nurses’ knowledge and skill the quality of nursing care, and patient safety and satisfaction. |
