Abstract: Objective: To establish a scientific and operable information system of the cardiovascular disease nursing quality control. Methods: Based on RAND-UCLA expert consensus method, the information system of the cardiovascular disease nursing quality control was established. According to the development process of NDNQI sensitivity index, some medical institutions were selected for pilot data collection. Indicators with better sensitivity and data availability were screened and determined from the index system and an information system was built based on these indicators. Medical institutions were recruited to use this information system through the Nursing Committee of the National Committee of Cardiovascular Experts. Results: The information system of the cardiovascular disease nursing quality control initially developed contained 18 indicators. While 7 indicators were finally left after the pilot data collection. A total of 145 cardiovascular disease-related wards from 28 medical institutions across the country participated in the data reporting by this information system. Conclusion: The information system of the cardiovascular disease nursing quality control established in this study is scientific and operable. This information system provides the possibility to carry out the national cardiovascular disease nursing quality monitoring. Through the integration, analysis and feedback, and resource sharing of data, the information system can provides important support for the quality control and improvement of cardiovascular disease nursing.
