CHOPR Panel Study receives NIH funding and launches this month.
The four-year $3.3m research project "Multilevel Panel Study of Effects of Changes in Nursing on Health Equity and Patient Outcomes," will significantly expand the work which began nearly 30 years ago. In this competitive continuation, we will conduct surveys twice in seven states. Our aim is to not just understand the benefits of organizational change for patient outcomes, but to understand how to target organizational change via interventions that can have a transformative impact on health equity, nurse wellbeing, and patient outcomes.

Magnet4Europe Consortium partners assemble for the first face-to-face international meeting.
CHOPR is honored to co-lead the EU-funded Magnet4Europe initiative to transform hospital work environments in 64 European hospitals in 6 countries twinned with 67 US Magnet hospitals. The May Learning Collaborative in Cork, Ireland highlighted the project's findings thus far and twinning partners presented best practices in improving clinical work environments based on the Magnet Model®. Participating CHOPR Senior Fellows included Profs. Walter Sermeus, Martin McKee, Reinhard Busse, Anne Marie Rafferty James Buchan, Herb Smith, and Jonathan Drennan. Magnet hospital leaders and their EU partners submitted abstracts for inclusion on day 2 and the top six were presented orally.

Dr. Margo Brooks Carthon is Co-Editor of a Special Issue in RINAH.
The issue on "Health Equity and Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)" brings together studies that illuminate avoidable differences in health between different groups of people. These widespread differences are the result of unfair systems that negatively affect people’s living conditions, access to healthcare, and overall health status. Co-editors Drs. Bridget Brawner, Margo Brooks Carthon and Adriana Perez; and journal editor Dr. Eileen Lake hope that readers will be inspired to integrate the information presented into their own clinical practices and research.

CHOPR Publishes four major papers on Sepsis in 18 months.
The papers all show that better sepsis outcomes would have been achieved by hospitals employing more nurses and by states passing minimum required nurse staffing than policies requiring implementation of a bundle of services which often were not delivered because there weren’t enough nurses. BMJ Open, PLoS ONE, American Journal of Infection Control, and JAMA Health Forum
