Abstract

Effective health administration is crucial for enhancing nursing practice and improving patient care by ensuring optimal resource management, clear communication, policy adherence, and ongoing professional development. This study investigates the impact of these administrative functions on nursing and patient outcomes through a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative survey data from healthcare professionals and qualitative insights from case studies in high-performing healthcare facilities. Results reveal that resource allocation and communication efficiency significantly predict nursing quality and patient satisfaction, while policy implementation and continuous education support a consistent, high-standard care environment. A comparative analysis also highlights differences between public and private institutions, with private facilities reporting higher administrative support, particularly in communication and training. These findings underscore the need for robust administrative support across healthcare settings to foster an environment conducive to quality nursing and patient care. Recommendations include prioritizing resource provision, investing in communication infrastructure, standardizing policy enforcement, and supporting ongoing training to strengthen healthcare delivery.
