The repercussions of poor management extend beyond the nursing staff to the patients as well. Some impacts include:
- Compromised patient safety: Increased risk of medical errors, infections, and other adverse outcomes. - Longer wait times: Inefficient resource allocation can lead to delays in patient care. - Reduced quality of care: Overworked and dissatisfied nurses may be less attentive and compassionate. - Lower patient satisfaction: Patients are likely to notice and be negatively affected by the inefficiencies and poor morale among the healthcare staff.
