Nurses comprise the largest subgroup in the healthcare industry. A nationwide nursing shortage in combination with widespread cost cutting measures has lead to under-staffing of many units. This increased workload on staff nurses has been shown to increase incidence of medical errors and failure to provide necessary patient care. Appropriate staffing ratios improve patient outcomes, increased quality of care, and decrease readmission rates. In the Emergency Department this is especially pertinent as patients of all different levels of acuity from stomach aches to critical trauma injuries are seen by the same nurses. This increases the complexity of nurse staffing as each day can bring very different patient loads for each nurse and the department as a whole.
