| Additional Unit Information: |
| Patient care is dynamic and complex and as a result there is variation in staffing on each patient care unit to meet the unique needs of the patients that receive care. The delivery of patient care on each hospital unit is coordinated in a manner that safely and efficiently meets the needs of each patient. Staffing plans on each unit are developed, reviewed and adjusted accordingly on each shift to ensure that quality care is provided to all patients. Unit operational and educational needs are supported by an RN manager, clinical staff educator and off shift nursing supervisor. Patient outcomes are measured consistently to confirm that we are delivering high quality care. |
|

There are many variables to consider in establishing safe, efficiently staffed hospital units. Patient care units differ based upon the types
of patients cared for on a given unit, and the way in which care is organized and delivered there. Education and experience levels of unit
staff, support from nurse educators and nurse managers also factor into unit staffing decisions, as does the unique characteristics and mission of each
hospital. It is also important to look at patient outcomes (including fall rates, pressure ulcer rates, and Hospital Compare measures related
to heart attack care, heart failure care, pneumonia care and surgical care) in the Performance Measures section of PatientCareLink.
