Appropriate nurse staffing to provide high-quality care was a hot topic before the pandemic challenged healthcare organizations across the nation. In a report released earlier this year, the subject is explored by 3 coauthors: Robyn Begley, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, chief executive officer of American Organization for Nursing Leadership and chief nursing officer of the American Hospital Association; Pamela F. Cipriano, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, University of Virginia School of Nursing Sadie Heath Cabaniss professor and dean and former president of the American Nurses Association; and Todd Nelson, FHFMA, MBA, Healthcare Financial Management Association director of partnership relationships and chief partnership executive. The report was excerpted in the June issue of Nurse Leader and can be read in full at the Healthcare Financial Management Association website. The authors delve into the report's insights, generated by questions from Terese Hudson Thrall, managing editor at the American Organization for Nursing Leadership.
