Data Analysis - Hospital

The basis for all of ONW’s services is the analysis of data from the industry. Each of the programs and services ONW offers were developed from the analysis of countless surveys and studies conducted by a professional staff of statisticians in conjunction with nurses, healthcare administrators, allied health professionals, and educators.

ONW conducts an annual survey of acute care hospitals 2006 Hospital Survey. The survey solicits information regarding current budgeted nursing positions, vacancies, and projected staffing requirements for the next two years, as well as, turnover data and continuing education needs 2006 Hospital Survey Definitions
