The nurse staffing crisis has no simple fix. Research shows that optimized nurse staffing is integral to high-level patient care, better patient/family experiences and nurse well-being. Adequate investment in appropriate nurse staffing is also essential to a health care institution’s performance, reputation and financial viability. However, prevailing approaches to deploying nursing resources are not fully realizing the benefits of appropriate staffing. This is an urgent, high-stakes patient safety issue that represents a health care system imperative—not simply a nursing one—that must be tackled in new and bold ways. Nurse staffing is
a complex process that is affected by the health of the work environment and changes in the workforce, including nursing shortages, turnover and nurse competencies. Additionally, the economic pressures on the health care system pose challenges to appropriate staffing.

In light of these challenges and opportunities, a group of organizations came
together in 2018 to form the Partners for Nurse Staffing in a collaborative
effort to explore new solutions for nurse staffing issues. This group includes
representatives from the following organizations:
Ÿ American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN)
Ÿ American Nurses Association (ANA)
Ÿ American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL)
Ÿ Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA)
Ÿ Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)
