JOURNAL ARTICLE:The Patient Safety Initiative and Hospital Nurse Staffing

Hospital nurse staffing has an important relationship to patient safety and quality of care. Under a broad initiative focusing on patient safety issues, AHRQ has funded a group of projects on understanding the impact of working conditions on patient safety. Researchers are examining the critical issues of how staffing, fatigue, stress, sleep deprivation, organizational culture, shift work, and other factors can lead to errors. The work environment for nurses and patient safety identified key aspects of the work environment for nurses—including extended hours and workload—that likely have an impact on patient safety, and identified potential improvements in health care working conditions that could result in enhanced patient safety.
