Using a Resource-Based Theory/View of the firm, this study examined if increased inpatient staffing levels at military hospitals can generate a competitive advantage based on better patient quality outcomes. Specifically, this study examined the relationships between levels of registered nurse staffing, nonregistered nurse staffing, and physician staffing to patient quality outcomes. Patient quality outcomes in this study were measured by average length of stay, in-house mortality rates, and 30-day readmission rates. The current study found some support that increasing nurse staffing, especially registered nurse staffing, does lead to better inpatient quality outcomes as defined by shorter average length of stay and lower inpatient mortality rates.Air Force Inst of Tech Wright-Patterson AFB OH is the author of 'Staffing Levels and Inpatient Outcomes at Military Health Care Facilities : A Resource-Based View', published 2004 under ISBN 9781423518983 and ISBN 1423518985.
