The purpose of this study was to estimate trends in the efficiency of nursing care. This study confirmed an in –
crease in nursing efficiency across time, due to decreased outputs as measured by PrU rates and fall
rates along with a decrease in care hours provided by LPNs, and despite the increase in the care
hours provided by RNs. This information could be invaluable so nurse managers and policymakers can have a valid picture for decision making.
