Validation of the Practice Environment Scale-Nursing Work Index for Measuring Hospital Case Management Practice Environment.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose of study

The Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) is widely used to measure the practice environment across nursing populations. Case management is a specialty focused on care coordination to meet the clinical and financial goals of medically and socially complex individuals across the care continuum. Despite its importance, limited research exists on the hospital case management practice environment, and no instrument currently measures this concept. This study aimed to adapt and validate the psychometric properties of a hospital case management version of the PES-NWI.

Primary practice setting

Acute care hospitals where case managers practice.

Methodology and sample

Following expert panel feedback, the PES-NWI was adapted and shorten
