Summary
This longitudinal study in BMJ Quality & Safety aimed to examine the impact of nursing team size and composition on inpatient hospital mortality. The authors found that registered nurse staffing and seniority levels were associated with patient mortality. The lack of association for healthcare support workers and agency nurses indicates they are not effective substitutes for registered nurses who regularly work on the ward.
