What are Common Types of Inefficient Staffing Models?
Several types of inefficient staffing models can be identified, including:
1. Fixed Staffing Models: These models do not account for variations in patient acuity or volume, leading to either overstaffing or understaffing. 2. Census-Based Staffing Models: These models rely solely on the number of patients, ignoring the complexity of care needed by each patient. 3. Inflexible Shift Patterns: Rigid shift patterns do not allow for adjustments based on real-time needs, causing inefficiencies.
