American Nurses Association

For the American Nurses Association, The Lewin Group synthesized findings from the literature on the relationship between registered nurse staffing levels and nursing-sensitive patient outcomes in acute care hospitals. Using hospital discharge data to estimate incidence and cost of these patient outcomes together with productivity measures, Lewin estimated the economic implications of changes in registered nurse staffing levels.  The study is published in the January 2009 issue of Medical Care.

"Throughout the engagement, Lewin consultants listened to us and delivered superb analyses and thoughtful guidance–not canned solutions."  NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM
