The Royal Commission's recommendation for nursing home minimum time standards and the Australian Government's response do not support best practice resident care. We recommend that higher mandated minimum staffing levels and skills mix should be phased in by mid-2026. What is known about the topic? The Australian Government has not committed to fully implementing the Commission's recommendations for mandated minimum staff time standards. What does this paper add? We highlight issues with the Commission's recommendations and the Australian Government's response where they do not support sufficient minimum time to provide best practice care. What are the implications for practitioners? Mandated evidence-based minimum staffing levels and skills mix should be phased in by mid-2026 to support best practice care.
皇家委员会关于养老院最低时间标准的建议和澳大利亚政府的回应并没有支持最佳实践的居民护理。我们建议,到 2026 年年中,应逐步实施更高的强制性最低人员配置水平和技能组合。关于这个主题有什么已知信息?澳大利亚政府尚未承诺全面实施委员会关于强制性最低员工时间标准的建议。本文增加了什么?我们强调了委员会的建议和澳大利亚政府的回应中存在的问题,这些问题表明它们不支持提供最佳实践护理所需的足够最低时间。这对从业者有什么影响?到 2026 年年中,应逐步实施强制性的基于证据的最低人员配置水平和技能组合,以支持最佳实践护理。
