Abstract
Context: There is a substantial body of international evidence, which demonstrates that inadequate nurse staffing is associated with increased mortality and poor patient outcomes in medical and surgical settings.1 However, there is less certainty about the link between nurse staffing levels, quality of care and patient outcomes in emergency departments (EDs).
Methods: The purpose of the study by Drennan et al3 was to review the international literature on the relationship between nurse staffing levels, skill mix and quality of care in EDs.
