TL;DR: The findings from this review enhance the understanding of how “work environment” can be measured by an overview of existing questionnaires and domains and indicate that there are very many work environment questionnaires with varying content.

TL;DR: Assessment of relations between nursing organization models in hospital wards and nurses' perception of the quality of patient care and dimensions of the practice environment in Norwegian hospital wards found caution is needed about using service quality arguments when considering the possible benefits and drawbacks of different organizational models.

TL;DR: Organisational structures may have minor impact on how nurses perceive work-related and patient-related outcomes, but the findings in this study indicate that there is a considerable potential to address organisational design in improvement of patient safety and quality of care.

TL;DR: Good psychometric properties of the Norwegian version BERNCA-NH are found, assessed in a sample of care workers in Norwegian nursing homes, indicating that the instrument can be used to measure unfinished care in similar settings.

TL;DR: The classification procedure used in the study could be developed into a standardized method for classifying hospital wards across health systems and over time and can be generally applied across Norwegian hospitals.
