This study attempted to link health care activities and outcomes, taking into account characteristics of the health care system, the work group, and the individual. Results indicated that organizational structure and work group process had a greater influence on cost and derived length of stay (a measure of efficiency) than did the individual-level variables. The findings of this study add to the body of knowledge that explains how the processes of nurses' work influence the outcomes of that work.
