Nurse staffing key to higher survival rates of in-hospital cardiac arrest patients

From Fierce Healthcare, December 11, 2015

Survival rates for patients who suffer in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) during their hospital stay are often low. Less than 25 percent of these patients live to return home. However, rates can vary significantly from hospital to hospital.

A report published Thursday in Medical Care said that nurse staffing levels and working conditions in healthcare institutions play a key role in helping patients survive.

“These results add to a large body of literature suggesting that outcomes are better when nurses have a more reasonable workload and work in good hospital work environments,” said study author Matthew McHugh, Ph.D, R.N., associate director, Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research, in an announcement about the report. “Improving nurse working conditions holds promise for improving survival following IHCA.”
