Blume KS, Dietermann K, Kirchner‐Heklau U, et al. Staffing levels and nursing‐sensitive patient outcomes: umbrella review and qualitative study. Health Serv Res. 2021;56(5):885-907. doi:10.1111/1475-6773.13647.
Nurse staffing levels have been shown to impact patient outcomes. Through an umbrella literature review and expert interviews, researchers developed a list of nurse-sensitive patient outcomes (NSPO). This list provides researchers potential avenues for future studies examining the link between nurse staffing levels and patient outcomes.
