Association of emergency department nurse and physician work environment agreement on clinician job and patient outcomes
In this cross-sectional study, emergency nurses and physicians in almost half of study hospitals disagreed on the quality of the work environment, suggesting that two essential collaborators in high-stakes care do not agree on deficiencies in ED work environments. Sustainable systems-based solutions to improve ED work environments involve bridging these disparate workplace experiences.
