Needleman J, Buerhaus PI, et al. (Feb 2001) Full report of commissioned study, Nurse Staffing and Patient Outcomes in Hospital. Study is based on 1997 data from more than 5 million patient discharges from 799 hospitals in 11 states. It found a strong and consistent relationship between nurse staffing and five outcomes in medical patients -- urinary tract infection, pneumonia, shock, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and length-of-stay. A higher number of registered nurses was associated with a 3 percent to 12 percent reduction in the rates of adverse outcomes, while higher staffing levels for all types of nurses was associated with a decrease in adverse outcomes from 2 percent to 25 percent.
