Like caregiving itself, caregiving research is imbedded in so many contexts, but often isn't front and center. So fun to have an entire conference dedicated to caregiving research and to hear from the great minds working on different aspects of this issue #BBPGH22

We need to go back and integrate nurse staffing data into our study of team communication, pt and caregiver discharge quality, and readmissions. Thanks @WINursing @JackNeedleman for reminding me that we need to consider the largest workforce contributing to inpatient quality!
