Construction and Application of a Comprehensive Evaluation and Assessment System for Clinical Nurses Based on the Support of an Information Technology Platform

OBJECTIVE: To explore the establishment of an objective, standardised and operable comprehensive evaluation and assessment system for clinical nurses based on the support of an information technology platform and to realise the assessment management of tier nurses before and after promotion. METHODS: By reviewing the literature and combining the findings with the actual situation of nursing work in hospitals, the clinical nurse comprehensive evaluation assessment criteria were designed and assessed for nurses at different levels in terms of their medical ethics, attendance, performance, theoretical study, professional skills and teaching and then supported by the information technology platform to achieve timely and quick assessment. RESULTS: In 2021, 999 nurses out of the 1037 clinical nurses in our institution completed the assessment. Overall, 888 passed the assessment, 111 failed, and 38 did not complete the assessment due to various reasons. Moreover, 367 nurses were promoted based on the comprehensive evaluation assessment results, and the 111 nurses who failed the assessment had their promotion delayed in accordance with the regulations. CONCLUSION: The assessment indexes of the clinical nurse comprehensive evaluation assessment system are objective, scientific and operable. They could be used as the basis for nurse promotion and assessment management after promotion and could become a powerful aid for nurse promotion management to realise closed-loop management of nurse hierarchy. The support of information platform makes the operation of the assessment system faster and more convenient and improves the management efficiency.
