Application of a Research-Based Quality Control Circle for the Construction of a Three-Level Linkage Continuous Nursing Model of “Hospital-Cadre’s Sanatorium-Family” for Veteran Cadres

Objective: By carrying out research-based quality control circle activities, a continuous nursing model for hospitalized veteran cadres was built, which improved quality of life and compliance. Methods: A “Ji Dong Circle” quality control circle group was established to analyze the current situation, survey data, mine key points, and formulate strategies from three levels (hospital-cadre’s sanatorium-family), according to the operation steps of the subject research quality control circle. The quality control circle group was implemented from three aspects: the establishment of a three-level linkage management mode of “hospital-cadre’s sanatorium-family;” the establishment of “three more” nursing training modes; and the operation of a continuous nursing service system. Results: After implementation of the quality control circle, the level of relevant nursing professional knowledge among the nursing staff, the level of first aid skills among medical staff in cadre’s sanatorium, the coverage rate of telephone follow-up, nursing satisfaction, medication compliance of veteran cadres, and the living nursing operation level of caregivers were significantly improved compared to those before implementation (P<0.05). Conclusion: The research-based quality control circle activity constructed a new three-level linkage “hospital-cadre’s sanatorium-family” continuous nursing model for hospitalized veteran cadres that is guided by the needs of patients. At the same time, it has implemented the national medical security policy for the elderly, effectively improved the compliance and nursing satisfaction of the elderly cadres, and established the brand benefit of hospital elderly care services.
