Examining the Value of Inpatient Nurse Staffing
BACKGROUND: Inpatient quality deficits have important implications for the health and well-being of patients. They also have important financial implications for payers and hospitals by leading to longer lengths of stay and higher intensity of treatment. Many of these costly quality deficits are particularly sensitive to nursing care. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of nurse staffing on quality of care and inpatient care costs. DESIGN: Longitudin…

We examine both the correlates of self-assessed or perceived team effectiveness and its consequences for actually making changes to improve care for people with chronic illness. STUDY SETTING AND METHODS: Data were obtained from 40 teams participating in the national evaluation of the Improving Chronic Illness Care Program. Based on curr…

Changes Over Time in the Use of Do Not Resuscitate Orders and the Outcomes of Patients Receiving Them

METHODS: Using ordinary least squares regression to adjust for patient and hospital characteristics, the authors compared use, tim…
