1. Projecting Staffing Needs
Some steps to be taken in projecting staffing needs
include:
1. Identify the components of nursing care and nursing
service.
2. Define the standards of patient care to be maintained.
3. Estimate the average number of nursing hours needed
for the required hours.
4. Determine the proportion of nursing hours to be
provided by registered nurses and other nursing service
personnel
5. Determine polices regarding these positions and for
rotation of personnel.
19. 2. Computing number of nurses required on a Yearly
Basis
1. Find the total number of general nursing hours
needed in one year.
Average patient census X average nursing hours per
patient for 24 hours X days in week X weeks in
year.
2. Find the number of general nursing hours needed in
one year which should be given by registered nurses
and the number which should be given by ancillary
nursing personnel.
a. Number of general nursing hours per year X percent
to be given by registered nurses.
b. Number of general nursing hours per year X percent
to be given be ancillary nursing personnel.

beds) or
The average census of patients per unit (one nurse
per 4 patients).
Example: Days: 45% of the staff
Evenings 35% of the staff
Nights 20% of the staff
The traditional system
23. PATIENT CLASSIFICATION
SYSTEMS
Patient classification system (PCS), which
quantifies the quality of the nursing care, is
essential to staffing nursing units of hospitals
and nursing homes. In selecting or
implementing a PCS, a representative
committee of nurse manager can include a
representative of hospital administration. The
primary aim of PCS is to be able to respond to
constant variation in the care needs of patients.
24. Differentiate intensity of care among
definite classes.
Measure and quantify care to develop a
management engineering standard.
Match nursing resources to patient care
requirement.
Relate to time and effort spent on the
associated activity.
Be economical and convenient to repot and
use.
Characteristics
25. Be mutually exclusive, continuing new item
under more than one unit.
Be open to audit.
Be understood by those who plan, schedule
and control the work.
Be individually standardized as to the
procedure needed for accomplishment.
Separate requirement for registered nurse
from those of other staff.

Modular Nursing Model
41. Modular nursing
Modular nursing is a modification of team
nursing and focuses on the patientâs geographic
location for staff assignments. The concept of
modular nursing calls for a smaller group of staff
providing care for a smaller group of patients.
42.
43. . MODULAR NURSING:
Modular nursing assignment is used when the
nursing staff includes technical and nurse aides,
as well as professional nurses. Although two or
three persons are assigned to each module, the
greatest responsibility for the care of assigned
patients falls on the professional nurse. The
professional nurse is also responsible for guiding
and teaching non-professional nurse.
44. Advantages
ď Continuity of care is improved.
ď RN more involved in planning and
coordinating care.
ď Geographic closeness and efficient
communication.
Disadvantages
ď Increased costs to stock each module.
ď Long corridors not conducive to modular
nursing.
45. Primary nursing:
ď It is also called relationship based nursing. It
involves total nursing care, directed by a nurse on
24 hour basis as long as the client is under the
care.
46. Primary Nurse
24-hour responsibility for
planning, directing &
evaluating patient care
Patient
Associate Nurses
Provide care

nurse is off duty
Physician and
other members

team
Primary Nursing Model
47. Merits:
ď opportunity for the nurse to see the client and family as one
system.
ď Nursing accountability, responsibility and independence are
increased.
ď The nurse is able to use wide range of skills, knowledge and
expertise.
ď potentiates creativity by the nurse and thereby work
satisfaction increases
ď increased trust and satisfaction for both
48. Demerits:
The nurse may be isolated from the
colleagues.
Little avenue for group planning of care.
Nurse must be mature and independently
competent.
It must be cost effective.

Nursing Case Management Model
50. CASE MANAGEMENT MODEL
⢠Case management is a process of monitoring an
individual patientâs health care by the case manger,
for the purpose of maximizing positive outcomes
and containing costs. The case manger has
graduate-level preparation or is at an advanced
level of nursing practice. The case manager role
requires not only advanced nursing skills but also
advanced managerial and communication skills.
54. Advantages:
For the patient: -
⢠Establishing and achieving a set of âexpectedâ or
standardized patient care outcomes for each patient.
⢠Facilitating early patient discharge or discharge within
an appropriate length of stay.
⢠Using the fewest possible appropriate health care
resources to meet expected patient care outcomes.
⢠Facilitating the continuity of patient care through
collaborative practice of diverse health professionals.
For the nurse: -
⢠Enhancing nurseâs professional development and job
satisfaction.
⢠Facilitating the transfer of knowledge of expert
clinical staff of novice staff.
55. Disadvantages:
⢠Some experts are argued that this role should be
reserved for the advance practitioner nurse or an
RN with advanced training or need 3 to 5 year
experience.
⢠The case manger should also be extremely bright,
have well developed interpersonal skills, be able
to multitask, have a strong foundation in
utilization review, and understand payer-patient
specifics and hospital reimbursement
mechanisms.
56. DIFFERNTIATED NURSING PRACTICE
⢠Differentiated nursing practice refers to an
attempt to separate nursing practice roles based
on education or experience or some
combination of both.
57. ⢠Education model:
Role differentiation based upon type of
educational preparation [BSN, MSN etc]
⢠Competency model:
Role differentiation based on individual
nursing skills, expertise, experience etc.
58. Merits:
⢠match patients needs with nursing
competencies.
⢠efficient use of nursing resources.
⢠Provide equitable compensation
⢠It increase nurse satisfaction, built loyalty
and increase the prestige of the nursing
profession.

PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES
64. RESEARCH ARTICLES-:
1.The nurse-patient assignment: Purposes, decision factors and steps of the
process by Allen, Stephanie Brodack, Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH
CAROLINA, 2012,
The purpose of this exploratory descriptive study was to describe the nurse-
patient assignment process. Specifically, this study sought to identify
purposes, decision factors and steps of the process. Fourteen Nurse
Managers representing 11 nursing units of a suburban hospital in the
Southeastern United States were interviewed using a semi-structured
interview guide. The data was analyzed using Krippendorff's method of
content analysis. Results were presented in narrative and Venn diagram
form. The most common decision factors associated with the nurse-patient
assignment process were related to patient and nurse demographics, acuity,
proximity, competence, workload, nurse-patient ratio, collegiality and
staffing. Three pathways to making nurse-patient assignments were
described that corresponded to the type of nursing unit (episodic care, acute
care/short stay and long stay) on which they worked. For example, Nurse
managers on long stay units divided patients into groups then assigned the
nurse to a group of patients. Secondary findings indicated that nurse-patient
assignment process variations existed across the three unit types related to
purposes, decision factors, and steps of the nurse-patient assignment. For
example, the purposes discharge planning and care coordination were
identified only by Nurse Managers on long stay units.
65. 2. The Association of Registered Nurse Staffing Levels and Patient
Outcomes: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Kane, Robert L. MD et al Medical Care:December 2007 - Volume 45 - Issue
12 - pp 1195-1204 conducted a studyTo examine the association between
registered nurse (RN) staffing and patient outcomes in acute care
hospitals. . An increase by 1 RN per patient day was associated with a decreased
odds ratio of hospital acquired pneumonia (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.56â0.88), unplanned
extubation (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.36â0.67), respiratory failure (OR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.27â
0.59), and cardiac arrest (OR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.62â0.84) in ICUs, with a lower risk of
failure to rescue (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.79â0.90) in surgical patients. Length of stay was
shorter by 24% in ICUs (OR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.62â0.94) and by 31% in surgical patients
(OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.55â0.86).
Studies with different design show associations between increased RN staffing and
lower odds of hospital related mortality and adverse patient events. Patient and
hospital characteristics, including hospitalsâ commitment to quality of medical care,
likely contribute to the actual causal pathway.
66. Yu-Chih Chen et al (2013) did a quasi experimental study on Effectiveness of
nurse case management compared with usual care in cancer patients at a
single medical center in Taiwan:
This study was conducted with a quasi-experimental design in a national
medical center in Northern Taiwan. A total number of 600 subjects randomly
selected from the cancer case management system enrolled in the case
managed group, and 600 patients who received usual care were randomly
selected from cancer registry and enrolled in the control group. The study
instrument was developed to measure care effectiveness, including the rates of
patient continuing treatment, non-adherence to treatment, prolonged
hospitalization, unplanned readmission, and planned admission for active
treatment.
Researcher concluded that cancer case management could improve the
effectiveness of cancer care services and concretely illustrated a
comprehensive model for oncology patients in Taiwan and suggested for further
investigation.
