Why research is vital

Marianne Ditomassi Executive director of patient care and Magnet recognition, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston MA
Jeanette Ives Erickson Senior vice president for patient care, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston MA
Dorothy A Jones Director and Senior nurse scientist, Yvonne L Munn Center for Nursing Research at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston MA

Marianne Ditomassi and colleagues describe the importance of research to patients, nurses and healthcare organisations

THE FUTURE of health care will depend on how we respond to reform, financial and workforce constraints, government attempts to improve care quality and patient safety, and changes to technology and patient populations (Erickson et al 2015).
