Several metrics can be used to measure workflow efficiency in nursing:
1. Patient Throughput: The number of patients treated within a specific time frame. 2. Time Spent on Direct Patient Care: The percentage of a nurse's shift spent on direct patient interactions versus administrative tasks. 3. Error Rates: The frequency of medical errors or near-misses. 4. Staff Turnover Rates: High turnover can indicate inefficiencies and low job satisfaction. 5. Patient Satisfaction Scores: These scores can provide insights into the quality and efficiency of care.
