There is currently a limited ability for hospital risk managers to determine required department staffing levels based on current literature and the lack of quantifiable staffing models.
The audience will understand the theoretical framework and subsequent results of this independent research project designed to establish a standardized means and quantifiable formula to objectively determine and justify staffing levels based on the gathering of time data for essential risk management activities necessary to support the function. The research project was beta tested at a large multi-hospital healthcare delivery system in Texas.
