Research project

RN4CAST (Registered Nurse Forecasting)

Project overview

The RN4CAST study explored the impact of nurses on the quality and safety of hospital care. As part of a pan-European study of over 400 hospitals we co-ordinated the collection of outcome data from over 400 European Hospitals to explore questions such as "what is the impact on risk of dying in hospital when there are too few nurses?"
