By streamlining employee workflow, hospitals can reduce the amount of time spent on administrative tasks so that each staff member experiences less stress and has more time to focus on patient care.
A Staffing Management decision is needed to optimize all processes, improve management of individual competencies, and investment in appropriate technologies that are safe to operate and that reduce employee workload, rather than increasing it.
