Patient acuity and care complexity in nursing homes have increased over time, fueling demand for skilled, high-quality nursing care in this setting. RNs provide vital leadership, surveillance, and care coordination, while licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and certified nursing assistants (CNAs) deliver the majority of direct patient care in nursing homes. Extensive evidence has shown that the ability of these staff members to provide safe and effective care is largely influenced by the organizational environment in which they practice.
