slide 7

The speaker suggests further research on patient and nurse satisfaction, as well as the impact of nurse ratios on patient outcomes. They also mention the importance of evidence-based practice and how better ratios can save hospitals money. More information is needed on nurse turnover and specific examples of cost savings. Research, so what more research can we do? I think additional research can be done. Research into patient and nurse satisfaction on the subject. So patient satisfaction I think is the big thing. But another thing that we can look into is the nurse satisfaction side. I found one article on it and on the turnover of nurses. But I think we could use more information on that. We could always use more research into how the better ratios can improve patient outcomes because I think that would be the most important thing into getting better ratios. It's going to be improving the outcomes of the patient. And also using evidence-based practice to show these better outcomes. Lastly, more research into how better ratios can save hospitals money. We gave a couple examples in this PowerPoint, but more examples on how better ratios can save money because I know and we know hospitals are always trying to save money.
