BACKGROUND: Nurse-to-patient ratios in the intensive care unit are associated with postoperative mortality, morbidity, and costs after some high-risk surgery. OBJECTIVE: To determine if having 1 nurse caring for 1 or 2 patients ("more nurses") versus 1 nurse caring for 3 or more patients ("fewer nurses") in the intensive care unit at night is associated with differences in clinical and economic outcomes after hepatectomy. METHODS: Statewide observational cohort study of 569 adults who had hepatic resection, 1994 to 1998. Hospital discharge data were linked to a prospective survey of organizati

Background: Medication errors cause adverse events; however, studies have yet to examine medication errors related to nursing hours while considering ward characteristics in Japan. Purpose: This study investigated medication errors caused by nurses to quantitatively assess ward activity as busyness in nursing duties. Methods: This study considered patients hospitalized in the general wards of 10 National Hospital Organization institutions between April 2019 and March 2020. The study data were obtained from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination system, incident report system, and reports on nurse

Abstract:

This paper proposes a design of an efficient hospital nurse calling system which combines two types of indoor localization systems. The purpose of the first system is to locate patients while the second is to locate nurses equipped with their smart phones. The main goal of developing such system is to decrease the time taking for nurses to provide healthcare for patients. Patients' positioning system is RF based. Indeed, each patient is equipped with a wireless and battery-free call button. When the switch is pressed, a wireless telegram is sent to reference nodes that act like Wireless Sensor

Background: Nurses are pivotal in the provision of high quality care in acute hospitals. However, the optimal dosing of the number of nurses caring for patients remains elusive. In light of this, an updated review of the evidence on the effect of nurse staffing levels on patient outcomes is required. Aim: To undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the association between nurse staffing levels and nurse-sensitive patient outcomes in acute specialist units.

Caring behavior is the center of nursing practice, a very dynamic technique, where nurses work with care for their patients. The better the nurse's caring behavior in providing nursing services to patients, the better the level of patient satisfaction with nursing services. Currently, there are nurses and other health workers who are not friendly enough in providing services. The objective of this study is to determine the factors that influence the caring behavior of nurses who work at the Regional Public Hospital of East Nusa Tenggara Province, which are age, gender, education, training, emp

Abstract:

Nurses, especially ICU staff, complain of high level of stress regarding the workload. This can be related to many factors such as: nurse-patient ratio, doctor’s orders, timing, hospital environment to name a few. Nursing workload can be defined as all nursing work that must be carried out over a defined period of time. For example the effect of workload on covid-19 patients in intensive care units (ICUs) showed that higher RN staffing was associated with lower levels of hospital related mortality. Each additional full time equivalent RN per patient day corresponds to a 9% reduction in odds of

Objective: To determine which hospital nursing resources (staffing, skill mix, nurse education, and nurse work environment) are most predictive of hospital Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and System (HCAHPS) performance. Background: HCAHPS surveying is designed to quantify patient experience, a measure of patient-centered care. Hospitals are financially incentivized through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to achieve high HCAHPS ratings, but little is known about what modifiable hospital factors are associated with higher HCAHPS ratings.

Despite its efficacy, calls are time consuming and compete with other clinical obligations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the viability of intern-led quality improvement (QI) on conducting initial postdischarge calls to filter patients who require clinical or nurse follow-up. Methods QI interns from an academic medical center's QI program completed postdischarge patient calls within 72 hours of patient discharge from a neurosurgery service between June 2018 and July 2
