Design and Preliminary Evaluation of Information Management Platform for Clinical Nursing Education: A Case Study in Shanghai M Hospital

Abstract

This study evaluates the development and preliminary assessment of a dynamic clinical teaching information management platform implemented at Shanghai M Hospital to enhance nursing education. By adopting a hospital-school-student integrated approach, the platform enables real-time tracking of intern distribution and attendance, quantitative evaluation of internship performance, and comprehensive teaching quality analysis. A mixed-methods research design was employed, including qualitative interviews with key stakeholders and a quantitative study involving 200 nursing interns, 80 clinical educators, and 19 school administrators. Results indicate that the platform significantly improves teaching efficiency, enhances the supervision of nursing internships, and fosters collaborative teaching practices. Key challenges include technological adoption, data security, and scalability across diverse institutional settings. The findings suggest that this scalable and adaptable platform can serve as a model for integrating informatics into clinical nursing education, addressing long-standing inefficiencies in training management and improving educational outcomes. Future research should explore AI-driven enhancements and cross-disciplinary applications to further optimize clinical training environments.
