7 Minnesota Organization of Leaders in Nursing Nurses dedicated to shaping the future of health care EXCELLANCE IN STAFFING THE FACTS The state of Minnesota leads the nation in quality outcomes that are attributable to excellent nursing care. The Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ) states that Minnesota has the best overall quality in the nation. According to the Minnesota Hospital Association s most recent adverse health report, hospitalized patients in Minnesota have reported 463 fewer falls, and 158 fewer pressure ulcers. All these outcomes are attributable to nursing care. Patient satisfaction with their care in Minnesota hospitals also is high with 85 percent giving high marks for the quality of care. Sixty eight percent rate Twin-Cities hospitals as among the best in the country. More than 7 of 10 respondents have a favorable image of hospitals, nurses, and doctors (Minnesota Hospital Survey, 2012, Minnesota Hospital Partnership). Minnesota Organization of Leaders in Nursing (MOLN) opposes legislation that forces hospitals to adopt strict staffing ratios which are unsuited to ever-changing patient care needs. We believe that present and future staffing models must be innovative and creative, that staffing is both an art and a science, and that staffing is a dynamic process. Excellence in staffing is a dynamic, evidence-driven process that results in efficient, effective use of qualified staff and the stewardship of resources to achieve the best possible outcomes for patients, their families, the workforce and the organization in which care is delivered ( Douglas, K. 2008). Best practices in staffing require consideration of the complexities of the patient s condition as well as the organizational culture, care models, policies, staff participation, continuous improvement processes, technology, community needs, and innovation. Staffing a hospital requires leveraging the full scope of the professional nursing role as well as the work of all healthcare personnel. MOLN believes that our current strategies effectively assure safe staffing for patients including: Allowing all staff members to practice to the full extent of their education and training. Using care models that support effective use of assistive personal. Empowering charge nurses to adjust staffing levels based on patient needs. Use of assistive technology--such as surveillance, electronic best practice alerts, fall devices and lifting equipment, used with human judgment from highly educated RNs. MOLN s position is supported by other professional organizations. The Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) supports keeping staffing decisions with hospitals and health care professionals. MHA opposing the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA s) one-size-fits-all approach of legislated staffing ratios (MNA represents only 20% of Minnesota s nurses). The American Nurses Association in Principles for Nurse Staffing also emphasizes the need to staff with flexibility, according to the acuity of patients rather than by set numbers. Staffing for patient care is a dynamic situation that no single solution can optimize. MOLN and all Minnesota s Nurse Leaders pledge our support and cooperation to patients, nursing staff, and managers as we work together to self-regulate solutions to our own challenges. MOLN believes taking decision-making about staffing out of the hands of nurse leaders would not improve patient care and would cause more harm than good University Ave W, Ste 350S St. Paul, MN (651) Fax: (651) office@moln.org
