AI Technical Summary
Existing nursing quality and efficiency evaluation methods rely on fixed or empirical weights, which make it difficult to reflect the amount of information and time dynamics of indicators. They lack the ability to recover from potential nonlinearity in time series. Cluster scoring models are sensitive to initial values and cannot take into account both time correlation and individual chaotic differences. Furthermore, the lack of quantifiable hospital-level summary indicators and individual-level evaluation makes it difficult to take into account both individual differences and overall uncertainty.
We adopt a dynamic weight adaptive quantification index based on information entropy to quantify the information contribution of the index. Combined with the chaotic nursing resilience index and fuzzy membership update, we optimize the cluster center and membership through the firefly algorithm, construct multi-view feature fusion and time decay regularization terms, and generate quantifiable nursing quality index and confidence interval.
It enables simultaneous characterization of indicator importance and temporal nonlinearity, improves feature discrimination and robustness, provides interpretable grading conclusions and statistical confidence, facilitates system integration, and enhances the practicality and transparency of nursing quality and effectiveness evaluation.

[0002] With the rapid development of medical informatization and big data technologies, hospital nursing quality evaluation has gradually shifted from traditional paper records and manual scoring to a multi-source data-driven intelligent assessment system. Methods based on statistical analysis, machine learning, and weighted scoring have emerged, enabling the initial integration of nursing records, physiological indicators, and patient feedback. Simultaneously, the widespread adoption of real-time data collection via IoT devices and electronic medical record systems provides a solid foundation for time-series data analysis. Furthermore, with the deep integration of artificial intelligence, chaos theory, and optimization algorithms, nursing quality and effectiveness evaluation will evolve towards real-time, personalized, and precise approaches, providing strong support for refined management and assessment.
[0003] However, existing nursing feature extraction methods generally rely on fixed or empirical weights, are difficult to reflect the information content and time dynamics of indicators, and lack characterization of potential nonlinear recovery capabilities in time series; existing clustering scoring models are sensitive to initial values, are difficult to simultaneously take into account time correlation and individual chaotic differences, and conventional clustering cannot guarantee global optimality; existing nursing quality and efficiency evaluations often lack quantifiable and reliable hospital-level summary indicators; individual-level evaluations are difficult to take into account individual differences and overall uncertainty.

This achieves simultaneous characterization of indicator importance, temporal nonlinearity, and multi-dimensional perspectives. Addressing the problems of existing clustering scoring models being susceptible to initial value sensitivity, difficulty in simultaneously considering temporal correlation and individual chaotic differences, and the inability of conventional clustering to guarantee global optimum, this solution utilizes... A stable starting point is obtained by initializing the cluster centers and generating a fuzzy membership matrix. A time decay regularization term and a chaos resilience penalty are introduced into the objective function to preserve temporal information and penalize resilience deviations, thereby characterizing the quality changes and resilience consistency over time. A combination of fuzzy membership update and the firefly algorithm is used to iteratively optimize the cluster centers and membership. The firefly mechanism provides global search capability for the population, and fuzzy membership guarantees soft assignment and uncertainty expression. The two work together to reduce the risk of getting trapped in local minima and accelerate convergence, ultimately obtaining a more robust, time-consistent clustering result and membership matrix that takes into account chaotic characteristics. To address the shortcomings of existing nursing quality and efficiency evaluations, which often lack quantifiable and reliable hospital-level summary indicators and output formats that can be integrated with the system, and the difficulty of individual-level evaluations in taking into account individual differences and overall uncertainty, this scheme maps the soft assignment results into intervalized and comparable individual scores by constructing a patient quality index based on the final membership and patient contribution values.
