LID - AT9249 [pii] AB - OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the impact of a hierarchical management model on enhancing the quality of nursing services within the nursing department (ND). METHODS: A retrospective comparative cohort study was conducted on outpatients treated at the hospital from January 2021 to December 2022. A total of 68 patients admitted from January 2021 to December 2021 were assigned to the control group, while 75 patients admitted from January 2022 to December 2022 were assigned to the observation group. During the study period, a consistent group of nurses was responsible for outpatient care and underwent hierarchical management beginning in January 2022. We compared nursing quality and patient satisfaction between the two groups and documented adverse events (AEs), which included medical disputes and misdiagnoses. The psychological status of the patients was assessed using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). RESULTS: In comparison to the control group, the observation group demonstrated significantly higher scores for nursing quality and patient satisfaction (P < .05) and a lower incidence of AEs (P < .05). Following diagnosis and treatment, the observation group exhibited decreased SAS and SDS scores, significantly lower than the control group (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: Implementing a hierarchical management model positively impacts nursing quality within the ND and enhances patient satisfaction. Therefore, it is recommended as an effective approach for improving nursing care quality and patient satisfaction.
