PrintNursing Workload and Patient Care
Safe Staffing Day 2012
Relying on the experience of frontline nurses, Nursing Workload and Patient Care presents a look at evidence of the challenges facing the nursing workforce.
This report from the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions reviews the body of evidence linking inadequate nurse staffing with increases in mortality and other negative outcomes for patients. Nursing Workload and Patient Care urges policy makers to fully understand the value that a nurse’s education and training bring to patient care. The report offers a clear vision of a future in which nurse staffing benefits patients and nurses while contributing to the financial viability of our health system.
