Abstract:

<p> With the era of the baby boomers getting to an age where health care issues will be at an all-time high, the shortage of nurses is a problem many health care organizations are already facing. There is a huge opportunity for many nurses to get hired given the state of California requires facilities to maintain a nurse-to-patient ratio. These ratios vary depending on the severity level of the patient’s illness or condition the unit admits. </p><p> The goal of the company is to be able to help hospitals, convalescent home, retirement centers and other skilled nursing facilities meet t

The costs of healthcare in the United States are of national concern. The systematic review of the literature (SRL) explored the practice-focused nursing question regarding the relationship between the use of acuity-based staffing (ABS) models and positive patient outcomes. Analyzing the impact of ABS models on patient quality outcomes and the potential economic value could provide evidence essential for the healthcare executives responsible for fiscally prudent labor management and for creating an evidence-based business case for adequate, patient-centric nurse staffing.

Readmission of skilled nursing facility (SNF) residents has become a financial and quality-of-care concern for facility leaders. SNF administrators do not know whether nurse staffing levels are impacting readmission rates.

The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between SNF nurse staffing levels and readmission rates using the Skilled Nursing Facility Readmission Measure (SNF RM).

The quality of care in United States' nursing homes has been of concern to consumers, government agencies, and researchers for several decades.

Abstract:

Staffing turnover created a challenge for the women’s services department of a hospital in the southern United States, potentially compromising care for women and infants during childbirth. The gap in practice was the lack of a structured nurse orientation/residency program for nurses new to perinatal nursing, which requires specific competencies not learned at the prelicensure level of education. The guiding practice-focused question was whether a multidisciplinary team could develop a formal evidence-based perinatal nurse residency program that would meet the needs of on-boarding and support

This report spurred multiple Assembly Bills in California designed to increase nursing home nurse staffing, change the state’s Medi-Cal reimbursement methodology, or both.
