Description
California passed Mandated Staffing Ratio legislation (A.B. 394) in 2002 to regulate nurse-to-patient ratios in acute care hospitals to address nursing burnout, adverse patient outcomes, and errors. Ratios were determined by the California Health Department.
The study aims to understand if California's Mandated Staffing Ratio legislation effectively reduced nursing satisfaction, medication errors, and hospital-acquired infections since its implementation in 2004 by focusing on Medical-Surgical units (Med-Surg).
