Abstract

Psychiatric nurses in the residential sector of St George's Hospital in Morpeth, Northumberland, worked with a quality coordinator to devise a means of auditing the quality of care in their wards. Their major objective was to bring the process to the grass roots of nursing care and involve front-line staff in designing and carrying it out.

Hospitals' responses to nurse staffing shortages.

Hospitals have used a mix of short-term and long-term strategies to deal with nurse shortages, particularly efforts emphasizing nurse education, competitive compensation, and temporary staff. Interviews with health care leaders from Round Five of the Community Tracking Study indicate that these activities, in conjunction with other factors, have assisted in reducing shortages of hospital nurses. However, hospitals' actions have increased costs and raised concerns about their potential impact on patient care. Additionally, a large degree of doubt exists among hospitals about their ability to meet future nursing needs.
