Abstract

The evidence suggests that several nursing-sensitive indicators are worse in high BSHs. Research linking nursing-sensitive indicators to nursing resources such as staffing is needed to explicate the mechanism underlying these findings. Poorer nursing-sensitive indicators in combination with poorer nurse staffing in high BSHs presents a priority for policy and management intervention.
