<![CDATA[Bed turnover time is a critical performance indicator in inpatient services because it directly influences bed availability, patient flow, and operational efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of workflow redesign and staff coordination support on bed turnover time in an inpatient unit. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used, with retrospective operational data collected from January to April 2026. January represented the pre-intervention period, while February to April represented the post-intervention period. A total of 1,492 bed turnover events were analyzed, consisting of 479 pre-intervention and 1,013 post-intervention cases. The intervention included workflow restructuring, time-monitoring alerts, assignment of a final checker, improved coordination between nursing and housekeeping staff, infection prevention and control monitoring, and daily performance evaluation. The results showed a reduction in mean bed turnover time from 133.71 to 125.98 minutes and a decrease in median from 48.12 to 42.23 minutes. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference between periods (Z = -4.01; p < 0.001). These findings suggest that structured workflow optimization and strengthened interprofessional coordination improve bed readiness and inpatient operational efficiency, supporting sustainable hospital performance improvement. ]]>
