Organizations don't have great records because they figured out how to eliminate human error. Organizations have great records because they catch and correct error. And that takes practice.

New paper ‼️⬇️

Hearing @alisonleary1 speak on “Why ratios now?” - so powerful.
Clarity on what ratios do and don’t do.

“Ratios are a REDLINE to manage risk. They are a fail safe.
They are NOT a workforce model to plan staffing”

Good nursing is not a ‘nice to have’.
It is the essential ingredient for cost effective care.

Resourcing nursing properly makes good economic sense AND saves lives.
