Criteria for grouping nursing subunits in hospitals.
Data from 135 nursing subunits were used to identify a set of organizational variables that best explained the grouping of activities into nursing subunits in hospitals. Relatively strong support was provided for technology as a basis for grouping nursing subunits; characteristics of the hospital, including its type, size, and location, also were relevant.
