Impact of collaborative nursing care delivery on patient safety events in an emergency intensive care unit: A retrospective observational study (June 2024)

Summary

Evidence shows that nurse staffing affects patient safety events (PSEs), but the role of an appropriate nursing care delivery system remains unclear. This Japanese study aimed to investigate whether nursing care delivery systems could prevent PSEs. The findings suggest that in an emergency intensive care unit, a collaborative nursing care delivery system was associated with a decrease in PSEs.
