Summary

This study tests a care model where each hospital patient is assigned one main nurse who plans and oversees all their care. Researchers want to see if this reduces infections, falls, and pressure injuries, and improves patient and nurse satisfaction. The study involves over 1,700 adult patients and nurses in Italian hospital wards, comparing outcomes before and after switching to this model.
