A key part of resource allocation decisions is determining the impact of staffing on clinical outcomes. A national study involving eight hospitals and 77 units lends support for a previously identified labor assignment phenomena that may contribute to an underestimation of the impact of nursing labor on outcomes if only traditional labor measurement methods are used. The authors suggest actions for nurse administrators and researchers who must address frequent queries as to the adequacy of nursing staffing.
资源分配决策的一个关键部分是确定人员配置对临床结果的影响。一项涉及八家医院和77个科室的全国性研究支持了之前发现的一种劳动力分配现象，如果仅使用传统的劳动力测量方法，这种现象可能会导致对护理劳动力对结果影响的低估。作者为护士管理人员和研究人员提出了应对措施，他们必须应对有关护理人员配置是否充足的频繁质疑。
