Improving hospital nurse staffing during the pandemic
Population analysis of temporal trends and between-hospital variation in mortality, readmission and prolonged length-of-stay between 2008 and 2018
Background: Despite the benefits of studying multiple patient outcomes together, research on between-hospital variation has often focused on single outcomes or disease-specific study populations. In the study we would like to present, we examined nationwide temporal trends and between-hospital variation in three important patient outcomes: (1) in-hospital mortality as a pinnacle measure of patient safety; (2) 30-day readmissions as an accountabil…
Lessons to enhance integrated care by assessing between-hospital variation in mortality, readmissions and prolonged length-of-stay for cardiovascular diagnoses
Background: Unwarranted between-hospital variation is a persistent healthcare quality issue that can threaten healthcare equity. Despite the benefits of studying multiple patient outcomes together, research on between-hospital variation has often focused on single outcomes or disease-specific study populations. In this study we examined three important patient outcomes: (1) in-hospital mortality as a pinnacle measure of patient safety; (2) 30-day…
The future of hospital quality of care policy
Safe nurse staffing policies for hospitals in England, Ireland, California, Victoria and Queensland
Translating Data From an Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration System Into Knowledge
BACKGROUND: Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (EPMA) systems are being widely implemented to facilitate medication safety improvement. However, translating the resulting big data into actionable knowledge has received relatively little attention. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to use routinely collected EPMA data in the study of exact time discrepancy between physicians' order and nurses' administration of systemic a…
Contribution of HCAHPS Specific Care Experiences to Global Ratings Varies Across 7 Countries
BACKGROUND: Given the increased international interest in improvement strategies for patient experiences with care, it is important to understand whether the same specific care experiences affect global ratings across countries. Moreover, reporting of these global ratings currently substantially varies in both research and public reporting. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to examine the differential magnitude of associations between…
New Instrument to Measure Hospital Patient Experiences in Flanders
Implementing a standardized patient experience survey may initiate a process to apply pressure on hospitals to attend to improving patient experiences. In Flanders, Belgium, the Flemish Patient Survey was developed between 2011 and 2015. A preliminary version was developed from a scoping review and patient and expert focus groups, and included 27 items for eight hypothesized dimensions: 'preparing for hospital stay', 'information and communicatio…
Impact of Cross-level Measurement Noninvariance on Hospital Rankings Based on Patient Experiences With Care in 7 European Countries
BACKGROUND: Hospital-level findings on patient experiences with care are increasingly reported publicly. A critical aspect left unexamined is the commonality of composite measures of patient experiences across different groups of patients, nursing units, hospitals, and countries. Absence of commonality is termed measurement noninvariance and is hypothesized to have a strong impact on performance assessment. AIM: The aim of this study is to examin…
Bayesian Multilevel MIMIC Modeling for Studying Measurement Invariance in Cross-group Comparisons
BACKGROUND: Recent methodological advancements should catalyze the evaluation of measurement invariance across groups, which is required for conducting meaningful cross-group comparisons. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to apply a state-of-the-art statistical method for comparing latent mean scores and evaluating measurement invariance across managers' and frontline workers' ratings of the organization of hospital care. METHODS: On the 87 nu…
Nurse staffing and education and hospital mortality in nine European countries
Patient safety, satisfaction, and quality of hospital care
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether hospitals with a good organisation of care (such as improved nurse staffing and work environments) can affect patient care and nurse workforce stability in European countries. DESIGN: Cross sectional surveys of patients and nurses. SETTING: Nurses were surveyed in general acute care hospitals (488 in 12 European countries; 617 in the United States); patients were surveyed in 210 European hospitals and 430 US hospit…
