TELL THE JOINT COMMISSION: REQUIRE SAFE STAFFING RATIOS FOR ORGANIZATIONS SEEKING ACCREDITATION AND CERTIFICATION These staffing decisions come at a cost to patients’ safety. Healthcare workers need adequate time and resources to safely care for their patients. For every additional patient a nurse cares for, a patient’s risk of dying increases by as much as 7% (Aiken 2014). Immediately develop a taskforce that includes CURRENTLY PRACTICING CLINICAL PROVIDERS OF ALL DISCIPLINES to determine appropriate staffing ratios for each discipline and care setting based on existing research and clinical experience; AND Develop and make publicly available an annual report, based on payroll data, of individual hospitals’ compliance with mandated ratios; AND Develop and disseminate objective and peer-reviewed research on the impact of staffing ratios on workers and patients for ALL HEALTHCARE DISCIPLINES; AND Transparently partner with any and all relevant organizations (state, federal, and professional) to achieve these goals and ensure the prioritization of PATIENT SAFETY over stakeholder profit. If The Joint Commission intends to fulfill their stated mission to advocate for patient safety, they must, immediately, demand safe, evidence-based staffing ratios for hospital workers and care providers of all disciplines.
