September 28, 2021

For years, nursing leaders have looked to acuity-based staffing as the solution to their staffing issues. While acuity can be a determinant in how staff is distributed, there are many other variables that need to be considered when developing an effective staffing plan each day. Variables such as critical ratio variances, unit workload, planned discharges, predicted census, staff availability and constraints all play major roles in staffing decisions. As patient care needs are fluid and vary among hospitals, nursing units, and shifts, an enterprise-focused staffing approach is essential to effectively meet patients' ever-changing needs. This is where intelligent automation can help.

• Review the benefits and challenges associated with acuity-based staffing
• Understand how a more holistic, enterprise-focused approach to staffing can transform your daily staffing practices
• Understand how hospitals across the country are improving patient care and staff satisfaction by better managing their most valuable resources
