Clinical Impact of Hospital-Wide Homogenized Bed Management Under a Maximize Healthcare Management Framework: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Background Efficient management is critical to hospital operations, particularly under increasing demands for quality, safety, and resource optimization. This study aimed to evaluate the application and clinical impact of a hospital-wide homogenized bed management system based on the Maximize healthcare management framework. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients admitted to the Department of International Medical Services from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients admitted in 2023 comprised the observation group, where a refined ward management model was implemented. Those admitted in 2022 served as the control group and received conventional ward management. Key performance indicators assessed included hospital discharge rate, bed occupancy rate, bed turnover rate, management quality scores, overall management effectiveness, incidence of nursing adverse events, and patient satisfaction. Results Implementation of the homogenized bed management system in 2023 led to significant improvements in discharge rate, bed occupancy rate, bed turnover rate, and patient satisfaction compared to 2022 (all P  < 0.05). The observation group also demonstrated higher management quality scores and lower incidence rates of hospital-acquired infections, medical errors, and medical disputes (all P  < 0.05). Additionally, a significant reduction in adverse nursing events and improved emotional well-being among healthcare staff were observed in the observation group (all P  < 0.05). Conclusion The hospital-wide homogenized bed management model, integrated within the Maximize healthcare framework, significantly enhances hospital operational efficiency, management quality, patient outcomes, and staff well-being. These findings support its broader implementation as a strategic approach to healthcare quality improvement.
