Hospitals are changing care models, often replacing registered nurses (RNs) instead of supporting them. The impact of these new staff mix models on patients, hospitals, and nurses is not yet understood.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Workforce Studies
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Hospitals are restructuring patient care delivery to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
  • This shift presents opportunities for optimizing healthcare resource utilization and innovating staff compositions.
  • Emerging models frequently involve substituting roles traditionally held by registered nurses (RNs) rather than augmenting their functions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the trend of restructured patient care delivery models in hospitals.
  • To identify the potential for redesigning healthcare resource utilization and staff mixes.
  • To underscore the concern regarding the lack of evaluation for prevalent staff mix models.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on restructured patient care delivery models.

  • Analysis of emerging staff mix trends in healthcare organizations.
  • Identification of gaps in the evaluation of patient, hospital, and nurse outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Restructured care models are being implemented to improve healthcare efficiency.
    • Many new models appear to substitute, rather than complement, the registered nurse (RN) role.
    • There is a notable lack of empirical evaluation concerning these evolving staff mix strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • The increasing prevalence of new staff mix models necessitates rigorous evaluation.
    • The outcomes for patients, hospital systems, and nursing professionals under these models remain unclear.
    • Further research is essential to understand the implications of substituting healthcare roles.
