Understaffing increases risks for patients.
We have found that workforce balance in healthcare is extremely dynamic. The balance between staffing supply and patient demand is continually in flux across a health care system. Bed availability based on staffing and patient demand can change every 15-30 minutes and at change of shift, available beds could change by 10-15%. This means, that across VA, you could see a swing of 6k available beds in a single hour.
Bed availability has critical implications for patient mortality, morbidity, staff safety and cost control. Research has shown that understaffing can increase mortality by 10%, increase falls, infections, decubitus ulcers, failure to rescue, GI bleeds and other problems.
Understaffing is a patient and staff emergency and should be prevented at all costs.
Understaffing increases risks for clinical staff and the costs for health systems and tax payers
When understaffing happens, risks to staff of violence, long term illness, disassociation and burnout increase. When staff burn out, they leave and the loss of a single RN can cost a health system $100,000 in recruiting and training costs to replace.
As an example, the annual turnover rate at VA is relatively low at around 8%, but considering the size of the organization, this is a multi-billion dollar annual cost.
