ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT:
abstract introduction Alamura primary hospital transitioned from a health center to a general hospital in 2016 E.C. during this period, staff motivation, competency development, and compassionate care emerged as critical challenges for sustaining quality improvement. the hospital adopted the mcc framework (motivation, competence, compassion) to strengthen staff engagement, patient-centered care, and community trust.
METHODS:
A mixed approach was used combining quarterly staff satisfaction surveys, recognition ceremonies, competency-based training needs assessments, and compassionate initiatives such as blood donation drives and financial support for vulnerable groups. financial records from staff contributions and fundraising were analyzed to assess sustainability. qualitative feedback from committees and staff was integrated to evaluate cultural impact.
RESULTS:
staff satisfaction levels remained consistently above 90 percent across four quarters in 2017 E.C. recognition ceremonies identified best performers monthly, enhancing morale and accountability. blood donation activities achieved 221 units in one year, surpassing the planned 200 units. financial contributions generated 435490 birr annually, supporting social services, orphan care, and vulnerable patient groups. competency-building activities included onsite orientations and participation in regional review meetings. compassionate initiatives provided food, educational materials, and financial aid to more than 100 beneficiaries annually.
CONCLUSIONS:
the mcc framework demonstrated measurable improvements in staff motivation, competency development, and compassionate care at Alamura primary hospital. the integration of recognition systems, financial accountability, and community outreach strengthened equity and patient-centered service delivery. these findings highlight the potential for scaling the mcc model to other primary hospitals in Ethiopia and beyond, ensuring sustainability and resilience in healthcare systems facing evolving challenges.
