Clinical staffing patterns.

When choosing a method of calculating clinical staffing, you should evaluate several models and collect data to determine what your current staffing pattern is providing. You should also evaluate your service performance to determine whether you are doing the correct tasks. If you have the data to compare your staffing to your facility standards of care and several other comparable facilities, you will have a greater confidence level when you report that your staffing is based on requirements for efficient services to meet your patient needs.
