Abstract
This case study examines the Nursing Department of Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial Hospital (QSMH) and focuses on the suitable timeframe for transitioning to higher positions. The case examines the existing practice of promoting nurses based on seniority and the difficulties it presents for the career progression of skilled nurses in terms of career development. This study aims to stimulate the development of an evaluation system that offers fair opportunities for career advancement based on merit and competence.
The case study presents the rationale for transitioning to a performancebased evaluation system and its potential benefits in a large-scale hospital setting. It discusses the importance of effective performance management and career development initiatives in the nursing department. Additionally, the case study explores the factors contributing to the high turnover rate among nurses, such as
inadequate retirement pension, lower compensation and benefits, and unclear employee development opportunities.
To address these issues, the case study proposes a phased approach for transitioning to performance-based evaluations. It outlines the steps involved in the new development planning system, including self-assessment, reality check, goal setting, and action planning.
Overall, this case study provides insights into the challenges faced by the Nursing Department of QSMH in terms of career advancement and offers recommendations for implementing a performance-based evaluation system. It offers valuable lessons for
healthcare organizations seeking to enhance career development opportunities and create a more sustainable and rewarding work environment for their nursing staff.
