Dr. Arlyss Anderson Rothman and Dr. Adams Dudley present their INQRI project: "Nursing Care Quality in Acute Care Hospitals: New Linkages to Patient Outcomes" at the 4th Annual INQRI meeting.
Part 2 of 2
Project Description: Increased public reporting of hospital performance and the emergence of hospital pay-for-performance initiatives provide new impetus to defining and maximizing all aspects of hospital care. This interdisciplinary team has examined whether increases in nurse staffing and skill mix improve hospital performance on a subset of JCAHO core measures, enhance patient perceptions of nursing performance, and improve overall nursing performance as measured by composite indicators that capture patients' perceptions of care and other selected outcomes of care such as complication rates.
INSTEAD of spending millions on some group that has no idea of what it takes to care for someone then ask the nursing staff. Tell us how our shifts are downstAFFED AND SWITCHED . If you care about the pts then ask those that care for them.m
