This study focuses on the adaptation and validation of the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) for use in Latvian intensive care units (ICUs) to measure nursing workload. 

Stigma is not the same as reputation. The med-surg reputation has been earned by overloading nurses with too many patients. With longer average length of stays and higher patient acuity, med-surg nursing is uniquely challenging. I witnessed first hand the RN exodus from med-surg nursing units during the last 3-4 years. The solution, while nuanced, isn’t complex: better compensation, more support staff, and safer staffing. People tend to view career challenges as “stepping stones” when the ground beneath them is unstable. To cultivate a unit culture of skill mastery and longevity, you need your people to want to stick around. People tend to stick around when they are well compensated, coached (not managed), and know you care.

Here is one model for solving the nursing shorted in senior care.

I conducted my own patient analysis and survey of recently discharged patients. It revealed that patients' perceptions of excellent care and actual care quality and outcomes heavily depend on their nurses. The nurses ability to communicate effectively, critical think, watch for care gaps and avoidable harm, spend time with their patients, and maintain control over the environment (including physician coordination, verbal translation, and pharmacy oversight) all were patient indicators of high-quality nursing skill and care . Patients who perceived their nurses as competent and having strong skills had 1) a less anxious stay and felt their hospitalization was wonderful 2) actually provided high quality and outcomes. 3) less costly stay and better discharge plan for follow up and avoidable re-admission. While less skilled nursing care resulted in patient anxiety and increased vigilance over their care with poorer quality and outcomes that was more costly and failed to pre-emptivly reduce re-admission. Moreover, the quality of nursing care directly correlates with increased quality and safety indicators, lower mortality and morbidity rates, higher savings and ROI, and overall high outcomes during inpatient stays. At Johns Hopkins Hospital, efforts to enhance nursing documentation align with these findings. The hospital, which recently achieved its fifth consecutive Magnet Designation, has saved nurses 170,620 clicks in four months by implementing macros and a new handoff tool, streamlining documentation and saving an average of 13 minutes per reassessment. Future plans aim to further improve care planning efficiency by 2025. These initiatives highlight Johns Hopkins' commitment to improving nursing workflows and patient care quality, significantly impacting patient satisfaction and outcomes (Snow Industry News) (Stock Analysis). https://lnkd.in/gnXRij2Z #NursesOnLinkedIn #Nursingqualityindicator #PatientAdvocacy
