Given the evolving body of academic literature tying patient outcomes to specific nurse staffing variables (ratios, education, experience, etc), hospitals are increasingly challenged to balance ideal investments in care quality with current nurse labor constraints. The Nursing Executive Center conducted structured interviews with chief nurses from a cross section of the nation's leading hospitals to understand how nursing leaders are incorporating recent academic findings in workforce planning and unit-level staffing. Study findings demonstrate a clear consensus among chief nurses on which staffing enhancements hold the greatest promise for positively impacting each of 14 distinct unit attributes.
鉴于将患者治疗结果与特定护士人员配置变量（比例、教育程度、经验等）联系起来的学术文献不断发展，医院在平衡对护理质量的理想投资与当前护士劳动力限制方面面临着越来越大的挑战。护理行政中心对美国顶尖医院的首席护士进行了结构化访谈，以了解护理领导者如何将近期学术研究结果纳入劳动力规划和科室层面的人员配置中。研究结果表明，首席护士们就哪些人员配置的改进措施最有希望对14个不同的科室属性产生积极影响达成了明确共识。
