Effects of public reporting legislation of nurse staffing: a trend analysis.
The authors examined nurse staffing trends after the New Jersey enactment of P.L.1971, c.136 (C.26:2 H-13) on January 24, 2005, mandating that all health care facilities compile, post, and report staffing information. They found that the number of patients per registered nurse decreased for ten specialties, and conclude that this indicates the importance of public reporting in improving patient safety.
