Sources of nurse-sensitive inpatient safety improvement.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association of hospital expenditure with continuing nurse education and staffing on improvements in nurse-sensitive, patient-safety outcomes.

Data sources

Data obtained from 12-year (2007-2018) panel of Florida acute-care general hospitals.

Study design

We assess the relationship of hospital expenditure on continuing nurse education and staffing on nurse-sensitive, patient-safety outcomes from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality: advanced-stage (stage 3 or 4) pressure injuries/ulcers, central venous catheter-related blood stream infection, and deep vein thrombosis. We attempt to mitigate expected omitted-variable bias by (1) exploiting the panel structure of our data, controlling for time and time-invariant hospital fixed effects an
