摘要
In the study on which this article is based, nursing homes with the most improvements in resident outcomes had greater registered nurse (RN) participation in decision making than did homes with the least improvements. The results suggest that nursing homes that want to improve quality can use RN participation to make improvements without significantly increasing costs. Complexity theory served as a framework for the study.
