Researchers in the SON are exploring the relationship between nursing care and patient and system level outcomes. They also are studying factors that may influence the nursing shortage. Through their research in a variety of healthcare settings, they are working to better understand and improve the nursing work environment and to enhance health information systems. The School has an Institutional National Research Service Award from the National Institute of Nursing Research to support doctoral and post-doctoral fellows in the study of Health Care Quality and Patient Outcomes.
