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 thecritical 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.
