It was found that the ADT nurses improved patient throughput. Additionally, a nursing-staff satisfaction survey found that 93% of nursing staff felt that the ADT program made a worthwhile contribution to decreasing the workload of nurses, and all nurses answering felt that the ADT program assisted in providing high-quality care and services. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
