Variations in nursing care quality across hospitals.
Lucero RJ, Lake ET, Aiken LH. J Adv Nurs. 2009;65:2299-2310.
 

This secondary analysis of a 1999 survey of registered nurses discovered that two of seven necessary nursing activities were left undone due to lack of time to complete them on a given shift. Investigators analyzed these activities and attributed the differences in nursing care quality with variation in the quality of hospital care environments.
