Nurse shortages and increased government scrutiny on how staffing levels affect patient safety mean it's more important than ever to collect and report accurate data.

Now nurse managers have a new tool to help them put their staffing level issues under the microscope, analyze and present complete data, and devote more of their time to managing the clinical and operational demands of their departments.

This workbook and fully customizable Excel spreadsheet on CD-ROM will change and simplify the way nurse managers track, analyze, and report staffing levels.

The workbook walks users through the step-by-step process of customizing the Staffing Analyzer CD-ROM Excel spreadsheet to best reflect your organization's staffing issues. Nurse managers can then use it to track staff level data unit by unit, day by day, shift by shift, along with the reasons for variances between their actual and planned staffing levels and the interventions they used to correct the problems.

The workbook also gives readers background about the Joint Commission's staffing effectiveness standards and nurse-to-patient ratio regulations, along with general guidance on statistical analysis topics like identifying and analyzing trends.

You don't have to be a technical wizard to use the Staffing Analyzer. The user manual, complete with screenshots, will help guide everyone from the savviest to the technically challenged through the simple process of customizing, entering, saving, and presenting your data in this easy-to-tailor tool.

Novices and experienced managers alike will find guidance on choosing useful indicators and presenting data to management.

Staffing Analyzer is the ideal tool for the job, and a small investment in managing your most important asset-your staff.
