Summary
That safety is paramount in healthcare goes without saying. There are though variations in patient outcomes between hospitals that cannot be explained by different population characteristics. Based on aggregate staffing data, a number of studies have shown that skill mix can be a factor accounting for these variations – essentially the higher the ratio of unregistered staff to registered staff the greater the incidence of adverse outcomes including mortality rates. Professor Richard Griffin explores this further in his LinkedIn article.
