Alternative nurse rostering: an evaluation
Aust Health Rev.

Abstract
An evaluative research study was conducted to determine the principles underlying the implementation of alternative nurse rostering. The results of three research studies conducted in the Western Australian health care system over a period of three years were reviewed. It was clearly demonstrated that alternative rosters are a valid management tool that will improve nursing productivity and the quality of care. A subject's age and hospital category influenced the acceptance of alternative rostering systems.
