METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study that, with the use of data from 21 University HealthSystem Consortiumhospitals, analyzed the associationbetweenRN education and patient outcomes (risk-adjusted patient safety and quality of care indicators), controlling for
nurse staffing and hospital characteristics.
RESULTS: Hospitals with a higher percentage of RNs with baccalaureate or higher degrees had lower congestive heart failure mortality, decubitus ulcers, failure to rescue, and postoperative deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism and shorter length of stay.
CONCLUSION: The recommendation of the Future of Nursing report to increase RN education levels is supported by these findings.
