Dr. Linda Aiken conducts research on the outcomes of nursing care in the United States and around the world. She was among the first researchers to empirically document that the original Magnet hospitals had lower patient mortality and lower nurse dissatisfaction and burnout than matched non-Magnet hospitals. She recently led a study that directly linked California’s safe staffing laws to decreased patient mortality and improved patient outcomes. Over two decades, Dr. Aiken has produced a significant body of research evidence in the U.S. and abroad showing that the ANCC Magnet application process is transformational and produces hospitals with better patient and nurse outcomes. She consults with and studies Magnet hospitals internationally in England, New Zealand, Russia, Armenia, and Dubai.
Dr. Aiken directs the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research, and is the Claire M. Fagin Leadership Professor of Nursing and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Dr. Aiken was selected in 2010 as an inaugural inductee into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame, Sigma Theta Tau International. She is also an Episteme Laureate and has many other awards including the 2003 Individual Codman Award from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations for her leadership utilizing performance measures to demonstrate relationships between nursing care and patient outcomes.
