SAFE STAFFING
State to State nursing patient ratios -Safe Staffing
Safe Staffing
As of 2019, 14 states have addressed nurse staffing in hospitals in law/regulations (California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, and Washington) (ANA, 2019). Many of the states that have adopted legislation about staffing originally sought staffing ratio legislation.
Significance of Appropriate Nurse Staffing
- Insufficient nurse staffing can lead to compromised patient safety.
- When nurses are overwhelmed with excessive workloads, they may struggle to provide timely and effective care to all patients.
- Research shows a clear association between nurse staffing levels and patient outcomes.
Impact of nursing patient Ratios
IMPACT
Impact #1
Impact #1
Lower nurse-to-patient ratios allow nurses to closely monitor patients, identify changes in their condition, and respond promptly to emergencies.
Impact #2
IMPACT #2
According to Wolters Kluwer "Optimal staffing is essential to providing the best care possible and getting the maximum value from RNs. Greater benefit can be derived from staffing models that consider the number of nurses and/or the nurse-to-patient ratios and can be adjusted to account for unit and shift level factors."
Impact #3
IMPACT #3
Nursing patient ratios impact nurse job satisfaction and retention rates.
When nurses have manageable workloads, they can provide effective care, experience a sense of accomplishment, and maintain job satisfaction.
High patient ratios, on the other hand, contribute to increased stress, burnout, and job dissatisfaction among nurses.
