The aim of this nursing project was to increase the rate of operational room nurses' prebetween operational patient contact (POPC) to improve their care and quality of service. The problems causing a low POPC rate included POPC schedule errors, doctors' late submission of operational schedules, insufficient care knowledge to answer those questions that patients and families might bring up during POPC, lack of POPC educational training, improper operational scheduling, and lack of a monitoring system. With analysis using a decision matrix, the adopted improving methods included revising and restructuring POPC criteria for case intake, changing the informational system in accordance with surgery classification codes, regulating and promoting POPC workflow, designing a monitoring system and a quality control plan, and developing the courses for case study and experience sharing. The implementation of these strategies improved the POPC rate from 82% to 94%. This project indicates that the POPC rate can be effectively raised for operational care quality through staff educational outreach, POPC schedule modification via an informational system, nursing needs-matched scheduling, and collaborative coordination between doctors and nurses. |
