摘要:

Efforts to control costs, especially those resulting from the 1997 Balanced Budget Act, have resulted in profound opportunities for futuristic community-based nursing care. A retrospective chart review was conducted on 1,992 stroke patients discharged from 15 Cincinnati hospitals from July 1, 1995, to June 30, 1996. Determinants and descriptors of stroke distribution were identified. This study shows how nurses can plan cost-effective care while maintaining quality through an epidemiologic assessment of patient, family, and community needs.

摘要:

A major challenge in healthcare today is measuring the quality of care. To explore nursing's contribution to patients in acute care settings, the American Nurses Association commissioned the development of the "Nursing Report Card." This study explored whether these report card indicators capture quality care. The convenience sample comprised 1,500 patients and 300 nurses from 16 units at an academic medical center. Using regression analysis, the most consistent predictor of outcome indicators was the percentage of RNs of the total staff.
