Description:
The aims of this summary and the main report are to help make sense of the complex and uncertain world of nursing workforce planning and to make better decisions about cost-effective numbers and mixes of nurses. Consequently, five commonly used workforce planning methods are reviewed and described: 1. Professional judgement approach, 2. Nurses per occupied bed method, 3. Acuity-quality method, 4. Timed-task/activity approaches, and 5. Regression-based systems. [From introduction]
