The clinical question proposed was, what interventions are impactful in improving decreasing nursing turnover among nurses? To do this you look at the nursing turnover rate and comparing it to leapfrog rating, CMS Stars, Magnet status, mandated patient ratios, workplace violence incidents, employee injuries, and union hospitals. This would allow for correlations of what makes facilities more appealing to nurses. This data could also be regionalized, because what is more important to nurses in California may be very different for those in Mississippi. They allows for targeted recruiting and retaining techniques. Some of these have already been studied on a smaller scale. For example, one study determined a correlation with workplace violence and turnover in two large teaching hospitals (Yeh et al., 2020). Another example is Magnet units have lower turnover than units a non-Magnet facilities (Park et al., 2016). What we don’t know is how widespread this is and if it varies across regions. This will add to that ability. Also, how has this changed post pandemic. Have the priories on what is keeping nursing from turning over the same? All are things that can be answered by this database.
