Each chapter explores: one specific indicator the instruments used to measure it the reliability and validity of each recommendations regarding the strength of the evidence linking the indicator to nurse, system, and patient outcomes.  The chapters close by outlining the implications and future research. Topics covered include: Indicators of Nurse Staffing and Quality Nursing Work Nurse Staffing Teamwork-Nursing and the Multidisciplinary Team Organizational Climate and Culture Span of Control Workload and Productivity Autonomy and Decision-Making in Nursing Professional Development Opportunities Scope of Nursing Leadership Overtime Absenteeism (information from the publisher) You may also be interested in / The Directory of Healthcare Recruiters / Jump to a List / Health Administration & Leadership / Physician Executive, Medical Staff & Practice Management / Finance, Accounting, Economics, Billing & Reimbursement / Coding for Hospital, Physician & Clinical Services / Law, Malpractice, Ethics, Accreditation & Compliance / Quality Improvement, Outcomes & Customer Service / Risk Management, Security, Error Reduction & Patient Safety / Information Systems, Technology & Medical Records / Clinical Management & Executive Nursing / Behavioral Health, Social Work & Psychiatry Management / Human Resources, Management & Supervision / Directories, Data, Trends & Benchmarks / Software & CD-ROMs / Gift Ideas & Recommended Gifts / Journals, Magazines & Newsletters / Search for Books / Books Index / Go to / Home Page / Toolbox for Health Administrators / Bookstore
