Patient-Centered Care, Nurse Work Environment and Implicit Rationing of Nursing Care in Swiss Acute Care Hospitals: a cross-sectional multi-center study

Patient-centered care is a key element of high-quality healthcare and determined by individual, structural and process factors. Patient-centered care is associated with improved patient-reported, clinical and economic outcomes. However, while hospital-level characteristics influence patient-centered care, little evidence is available on the association of patient-centered care with characteristic such as the nurse work environment or implicit rationing of nursing care.
