Recent Advances in Nursing Management
Nurse managers are using real-time data and acuity tools to match staffing to patient needs, often built into EHRs and nursing informatics systems. These tools help managers make safer decisions and show the link between staffing and outcomes.
Retention has become a top priority as many health systems face nurse shortages. Managers are working with occupational health nursing teams to reduce burnout, while quality programmes keep the focus on safe nursing practice and patient care.
