MEDIA CENTER
Hospital administrators' singular concern today is the availability of qualified nurses because surge bed capacity doesn't mean anything unless there's a caregiver to tend it.
That’s not to say patients will go untreated. But it's possible—likely, even—they won't receive the care they need and deserve. For every ten percent increase in a nurse’s workload, researchers have observed a 7 percent increase in patient mortality.
The AAIHR is the preeminent expert on America's shortage. Contact us today to learn how our members are working to address the staffing crisis.
