Objective Based on the theory of the Balanced Score Card framework and using Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process to construct the clinical nursing staff performance appraisal index evaluation system and provide reference for clinical nursing staff post management. Methods According to the theory of Balanced Score Card, constructed the preliminary establishment of index system for performance evaluation of clinical nursing. Used Delphi method to interview 26 nursing experts to select clinical nursing performance evaluation indicator. In the end, applied hierarchical analysis to determine index weight at all levels. Results Conducted two rounds of expert consultation;distributed 2 rounds of questionnaires by 27 and 26;recycled by 26 and 25;the recycling rate was 96.3%and 99.1%. It showed that the active coefficient of experts was higher. The degree of experts′authority was 0.89, which meaned the higher authority. Through two rounds of expert consultation, the Kendall coordination coefficient was 0.199-0.388. The significant test indicated that it was statistically significant (P<0.05), which meaned the experts tend to agree. After two rounds of expert consultation, the final clinical nursing staff performance appraisal indicators included 4 first-class indexes, 10 secondary indexes, 24 third-class indexes. Each index weight was determined by the analytic hierarchy process. In primary index, the internal process, learning and growth, performance indicators and the weight of customer satisfaction were 0.3, 0.3, 0.3 and 0.1 respectively. In secondary index weight, the top three were the work′s quality, post, and quantity. In the third class index weight, the top three were undertaking clinical work, annual nurse competence grading and the person-time of critical patients′management or surgical patient management. Conclusions Based on Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process to determine the clinical nursing staff performance appraisal evaluation index, whic can provide theoretical basis for clinical nursing staff post management.

Objective To establish a set of scientific and quantifiable performance management standard system by using Balance score card rationale so as to supply effective results management base for nursing regulator. Methods Delphi method was used to screen each level of nursing evaluation of performance standard and confirmed its weight;meanwhile, the sort of nursing care unite and nursing load were counted accordance with work intensity, risk degree and technological complexity etc and initially built performance management standard system. Results Accordance with the balance score card rationale and internal process, finance, customer, learning and growth four dimensions, a set of performance management standard and was established, including 4 first class indicator, 10 second class indicator and 32 third class indicator were derivative. The internal process, finance, customer, learning and growth factors were 29.44%, 37.56%, 20.32%, and 12.68%respectively. Conclusions Performance management standard system covers objectives of nursing management of Grade three General Hospital, and which is full of an objective, scientific, operational system possibilities, and can be used to multi-angle evaluate nursing performance, dynamic implement nurses management and achieve strategic goals.
