Choosing the right staffing model depends on various factors including the type of healthcare setting, patient population, and available resources. Here are some important considerations:
Patient Acuity and Volume: High-acuity settings like ICU may benefit more from a patient-centered model. Resource Availability: Flexible models require robust data systems, which may not be available in all settings. Staff Competency: Ensure that the chosen model aligns with the skills and competencies of your nursing staff. Regulatory Requirements: Compliance with local and national staffing regulations is crucial.
