Abstract

As hospital systems proliferate, research is needed to identify ideal nursing professional development (NPD) structures and processes to ensure optimal efficiencies and outcomes. Organizational participatory research was used to examine the level at which NPD processes are implemented and its relationships to publicly reported outcomes. Results indicated wide variability in NPD process implementation, many of which were significantly correlated with positive organizational and patient outcomes.
