Orthopedic nursing quality sensitive indicators.

Secondary indicatorsConnotation of indicators and evaluation elementsCalculation formula

1.1 Nurse-patient ratioThe ratio between the number of nursing staff and the number of patientsThe sum of the number of patients per shift per day/the sum of the number of charge nurses per shift per day during the statistical cycle
2.1 Accuracy of limb blood circulation assessmentLocal or affected limb tissue temperature, skin color, capillary filling response, swelling, and arterial pulsation with correct content, frequency, method, and timingNumber of patients assessed accurately/total number of patients sampled
2.2 Accuracy of neurological function assessmentSensory, muscle strength, motor, reflex, and autonomic function in the spinal cord, peripheral innervated areas with the correct content, frequency, method, and timing
2.3 Accuracy of pain assessmentAccurate pain assessment tools include pain time, location, degree, nature, duration, resting and active pain, concomitant symptoms, and the impact of pain on daily life, sleep, psychology, and functional activities, pain level after pharmacological analgesia
2.4 Postural care pass rateAppropriate postural pillows; necessary protective measures; correct and safe postural transfer; patients master the purpose, method, and precautions of functional or therapeutic position and transferNumber of patients with accurate postural care/total number of patients sampled
2.5 Accuracy of rehabilitation trainingWork with the physician to develop an individualized exercise program, include a method, amount, frequency, and time of exercise from preoperative to the post-discharge phase; appropriate assistive devices; patients exercise appropriately and progressivelyNumber of patients with accurate rehabilitation training/total number of patients sampled
3.1 Incidence of external fixation complicationsInclude compartment syndrome, instrument-related pressure injury, ineffective traction, skeletal traction displacement, and traction needle crossing infectionNumber of patients with external fixation complications/person-days of patients with internal fixation in the statistical cycle
3.2 Incidence of deep vein thrombosisDiagnosed by color Doppler ultrasoundNumber of patients with deep vein thrombosis/number of patient days in the statistical cycle
3.3 Incidence of respiratory obstruction in high-risk patientsHigh-risk patients: cervical spine injury, advanced age (70 years), infants and children, anterior cervical spine surgery, and patients who underwent a tracheotomy.Number of high-risk patients with respiratory obstruction/number of patient-days of high-risk patients in the statistical cycle
3.4 Discharge patient satisfactionSatisfaction with the pain control, discharge notification, and servicesUniform assessment form: the patient satisfaction questionnaire (third-party survey is conducted by hospitals with conditions)
