Improving Nursing Care Quality for Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Critical Period: Approaches and Processes for Enhancing Healthcare Service Quality

Abstract

        The development of nursing service quality in the care of patients with acute myocardial infarction during the critical phase is aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of patient care to reduce the risk of complications and increase the chances of survival. Patients with acute myocardial infarction in the critical phase require rapid and precise care to achieve optimal outcomes. Systematic nursing quality improvement can significantly reduce complications and increase survival rates. However, the provision of quality nursing services for this patient population continues to face several practice gaps, including the lack of standardized, specialized practice guidelines that align with evidence-based practices, discontinuous monitoring and evaluation systems that fail to utilize appropriate indicators, inadequate coordination among interdisciplinary healthcare professionals, and the absence of systematic personnel development programs. These deficiencies result in patient care that may not meet desired standards, particularly in critical time management, complication prevention, and continuity of care. This article therefore presents a conceptual framework for nursing quality improvement comprising seven main steps, from problem analysis to the establishment of a quality improvement culture within the organization. It includes specific implementation guidelines for patients with acute myocardial infarction during the critical phase, encompassing examples of measurable goal setting, specialized skill development, and appropriate technology utilization. The aim is to enable nursing professionals and administrators to develop efficient care systems, reduce complication risks, and elevate treatment quality to meet international standards sustainably. This will ultimately contribute to improved clinical outcomes, enhanced patient quality of life, and overall healthcare system efficiency.
