Research analyzes the significant influence on safety, quality, experience and value measures

Press Ganey Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PGND) today published its Nursing Special Report: The Influence of Nurse Work Environment on Patient, Payment and Nurse Outcomes in Acute Care Settings. Integrated analyses of data from multiple performance domains indicate that the overall work environment of nurses is a key driver of performance, with as much influence as nurse staffing across most measures.

As a key player on the front lines of health care delivery, nurses play a critical role in preventing adverse events, coordinating care and enabling patients to achieve optimal outcomes. This state-of-the-science report is derived from rigorous statistical analysis of NDNQI®, HCAHPS, engagement and pay-for-performance data. This report examines:

  • Relationships between nurse work environment, staffing and key performance measures
  • Areas in which nurse work environment has the greatest impact on patient, pay for performance and nurse outcomes
  • Improvement opportunities to optimize efficiency and reduce patient suffering

As the health care market rapidly evolves towards a value-based model of care, it is essential that health system leaders and nurse managers understand the various internal and external factors influencing the nurses’ work environment and the quality of the nursing practice.

“Nurses are vital to ensuring delivery of safe, effective and compassionate care across every sector of health care,” said Christy Dempsey, Press Ganey Chief Nursing Officer. “These findings clearly demonstrate that the quality of the nursing work environment significantly influences nurses’ ability to reduce suffering for patients and caregivers alike.”
