Who considers nurses and safe staffing when medical errors and patient falls, etc occur?
Do Agencies like JCAHO and OSHA and AHCA and any other alphabet soup protecting patients consider the situations leading to risks in patient safety. Staffing discrepancies being the leading cause, in addition to increasing stress and the poor satisfaction of nurses as well as disgruntled patients and families. It all goes together but it is never considered when making changes or regulating national patient safety goals.
When are nurses workforce situations considered?
Who advocates for nurses?
As a nurse who always considers being a patient advocate the frontline of nursing care, this situation needs to change.
