  • Title: Inpatient nursing unit volume, length of stay, cost, and mortality.
    Author: Rimar JM, Diers D.
    Journal: Nurs Econ; 2006; 24(6):298-307, 279. PubMed ID: 17266006.
    Abstract:
    Nursing unit volume-outcome relationships exist for patients assigned selected DRGs. This finding suggests that, in some cases, aggregating inpatients with similar clinical conditions may result in lower cost of care, shorter length of stay, and fewer hospital deaths.
