Advantages Of Patient To Nurse Ratios
Indeed, the hospitals have increasing patient-to-nurse ratios, which is potentially undermining patient safety. Consequently, if that change takes place not only it will improve the patient care satisfactorily, but also it will be the money saving for the state. Reducing patient-to-nurse ratios will consider as a cost-effective to the healthcare system at large. As a result, a decrease on the patient-to-nurse ratios has many advantages. First, it will decrease the hospital-related mortality. Second, it will reduce medical and medication errors that may cause by nurse’s fatigue and nurse’s burnout. Next, it will decrease patient complications, and improve patient satisfaction. Last, it improves nurse retention and job satisfaction. Mandatory
