Although many facilities believe turning over some patient care to unlicensed caregivers will cut costs, results show otherwise. The greater the rate of change--patient acuity--the greater the need for an all-RN staff. Skill mix, length of stay and salary costs among five teaching hospitals measure the cost effects.
尽管许多医疗机构认为将部分患者护理工作交给无执照护理人员会降低成本,但结果却并非如此。变化率(患者病情严重程度)越高,对全注册护士 staff 的需求就越大。五家教学医院的技能组合、住院时间和薪资成本衡量了成本影响。
