Creating quality practice environments: not easy, but essential.
Quality practice environments for registered nurses correlate positively with job satisfaction, productivity, recruitment, retention and client outcomes. However, when registered nurses work in environments that do not enable them to consistently meet their nursing practice standards, patient safety is jeopardized. This article describes the development of Canada's first guidelines for a quality practice environment for registered nurses in all practice environments. It is a tool healthcare leaders can use to improve the practice environment of all health professionals and to promote patient safety.
