Abstract: 
To explore the application effect of Health care failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) in nursing risk management in COVID-19 pneumonia isolation ward, the risk management of nursing in isolation wards was evaluated by HFMEA method. According the six highest risk factor score, the improvement measures were formulated to intervene, and then nurse satisfaction was checked. After using HFMEA method, Risk Priority Number (RPN) of key indicators was lower than 18 points, the operating compliance rate was increased from 87 5% up to 98. 6%, and the satisfaction of nursing-related indicators was better than that of pre-implementation (P<0. 001). In a conclusion, applying HFMEA to the risk management of isolation wards in the early stage of the COVD-19 pneumonia epidemic can optimize the nursing management process, improve the quality of nursing care, reduce the safety risk and improve the job satisfaction of nurses.
