Objective To explore the effectiveness of integrated nursing management between operating rooms and supply rooms in primary hospitals. Methods The hospital adopted and implemented an integrated nursing management model between the operating room and the supply room from January 2022 to January 2023. To evaluate the implementation effect, a detailed observation and comparison will be conducted on the qualification rate of surgical instrument packages before and after implementation (covering the normality of instrument function, integrity of packaging, cleaning quality, and compliance of indicator cards inside the package). At the same time, the satisfaction of doctors will be investigated, and changes in waiting time for surgical reception and other procedures will be recorded. Results After implementing the integrated nursing management model of operating room and supply room, the qualification rate of surgical instrument packages was significantly improved compared to before implementation (P<0.05). After implementing this management model, the satisfaction of doctors has significantly improved compared to before implementation (P<0.05), and the waiting time for surgical reception has also been significantly reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion Adopting an integrated nursing management model between the operating room and the supply room can significantly improve the quality standards of surgical instruments, enhance doctor satisfaction, and optimize work efficiency, which has significant clinical application value.
