One of the most effective ways to reduce this number is by focusing on patientsafety in nursing. For many hospitals, achieving better outcomes begins with the implementation of improved patientsafety protocols. What is patientsafety in nursing? How do nurses ensure patientsafety in the care setting?
But the effect of long nurse work hours on patientsafety is an area of concern. Despite the perks of a 12-hour workday, the impacts of 12-hour vs. eight-hour nursing shifts on patient outcomes can be significant. Nurses worked even longer days during the COVID-19 pandemic, and some still do because of ongoing staff shortages.
Healthcare workforce safety depends on both nurse safety and patientsafety. Patients depend on competent, compassionate care, physical security, and the satisfaction of knowing they’re well cared for. Conversely, inadequate staffing negatively impacts nurse safety and patientsafety.

The approach is divided into four phases of emergency management: prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. Events like power outages or fires can jeopardize patientsafety, especially in critical care areas. The recovery phase begins as soon as the immediate threat has passed.

Younger generations of healthcare staff members want to work for an organization that shares their values. 5 – Consider arrangements with other care facilities and organizations.
