Nurse Staffing Plan Principles Access to high-quality nursing staff is critical to providing patients safe, reliable and effective care.
The optimal staffing plan represents a partnership between nursing leadership and direct nursing care staff.
Staffing is multifaceted and dynamic. The development of the plan must consider a wide range of variables.
Data and measurable nurse sensitive indicators should help inform the staffing plan.
*These principles correspond to the American Nursing Association Principles of Safe Staffing .
The committee’s work is guided by its charter.
The committee meets on a regular basis as determined by the committee’s charter.
o Individual and aggregate patient needs;
o Staffing guidelines developed for specific units of the hospital;
o The skills and training of the nursing staff;
o Resources and supports for nurses;
o Anticipated absences and need for nursing staff to take meal and rest breaks;
o Hospital data and outcomes from relevant quality indicators; and
o Hospital finances.
Nursing Staffing Plan Purpose
Nurse Staffing Plan Policy
This plan was developed for the management of scheduling and provision of daily staffing needs for the hospital, and to define a process
that ensures the availability of qualified nursing staff to provide safe, reliable and effective care to our patients. This plan applies to all
parts of the hospital licensed under RCW 70.41.
The committee’s work is informed by information and data from individual patient care units. Appropriate staffing levels for
a patient care unit reflect an analysis of:
*The American Nurses Association does not recommend a specific staffing ratio, but rather to make care assignments based
on acuity patient needs and staff competencies.
The nurse staffing committee (committee) is responsible for the development and oversight of the nurse staffing plan to
ensure the availability of qualified nursing staff to provide safe, reliable and effective care to our patients.
Nurse Staffing Plan Scope
*
The following areas of the hospital are covered by the nurse staffing plan:
Acute Care 2nd
Acute Care 3rd
CCU
FBC
ED
Operating room
Peri-Operative Services & PACU
The hospital is committed to ensuing staff are able to take meal and rest breaks as required by law, or collective bargaining
agreement. The committee considers breaks and strategies to ensure breaks when developing the plan. A global break policy
may be used, or individual patient care units may have discretion in structuring breaks to meet specific needs while meeting
the requirements of the law. Data regarding missed or interrupted breaks will be reviewed by the committee to help develop
strategies to ensure nurses are able to take breaks.
Hospitals licensed under RCW 70.41 are required by law to develop a nurse staffing plan. The plan must cover areas of the
hospital that: 1. fall under the hospital’s license (RCW 70.41) and 2. where a nurse(s) provides patient care (i.e., “patient
care unit”).
The analysis of the above information is aggregated into the hospital’s nurse staffing plan. Each individual patient care unit
may use the Nurse Staffing Committee Checklist to guide their work.
Staff continuously monitor individual and aggregate patient care needs and make adjustments to staffing per agreed upon
policy and collective bargaining agreement.
The committee will perform a semiannual review of the staffing plan. If changes are made to the staffing plan throughout the
calendar year, an updated staffing plan will be submitted to DOH.
Nurse Staffing Plan Critical Elements
The following represents critical elements about the nurse staffing plan:
The need to have 2 CCU nurses in-house at all times when there is at least 1 CCU patient in-house
The availability of support services
AWHON Labor & Delivery Staffing guidelines
Nurse Staffing Plan Matrices
*Matrices are developed as a guide for shift-by-shift unit-based staffing decisions and are adjusted up or down based on patient
factors and skill-mix of hospital staff.

staff, support from nurse educators and nurse managers also factor into unit staffing decisions, as does the unique characteristics and
mission of the hospital. Our strategy to make sure Meal and Rest periods are being offered and taken, is by ensuring Mid-Shift Huddles
(MSH) are happening at a minimum of four (4) times per twenty-four (24) hour period. The leaders of the MSH will ensure lunches and
breaks are discussed and coverage is determined.
