Demographics; Decision-making; Nursing hours; Patient outcomes; Caesarean sections; Health economics |
| Abstract |
Comprises three essays on the economics of health-care delivery in hospitals: considers the relationship between gender and/or ethnic concordance between a doctor and patient, and the number of diagnostic tests ordered during a hospital stay; estimates the impact of doctor-patient demographic concordance (where doctor and patient share the same ethnic group and/or gender) on a doctor's decision-making for diagnostic resources and medical treatments; calculates the relationship between ward-level nursing hours and a patient's health outcome, e.g. mortality and length of ward stay. Uses a detailed nursing-staff dataset, a novel instrumental variable for nursing hours (the amount of sick and bereavement leave taken by nurses on a ward) and the separate effect of nursing and patient hours in a ward, on a patient's health outcome. |

Clinical decision-making; Patients; Prioritisation; Need for care |
| Abstract |
Explores the nursing literature for the tacit knowledge of the discipline about nursing prioritisation and proposes a 'fit' for nursing prioritisation of the patient need for care within the bigger picture of nurse clinical decision-making. Indicates that nurses use discretionary judgment and ongoing assessment to determine the relative importance of the many aspects of individual patient situations as they unfold. Examines the body of knowledge pertaining to clinical decision-making in nursing, suggesting that nursing prioritisation of the patient need for care is most readily discerned in the interpretive perspective and in the plain-language descriptions of nurse decision-making. |
