Healthcare Reform Causing Tension between Nurses and Hospitals
A large part of healthcare reform revolves around affordable treatment, but in doing so, we may be temporarily jeopardizing effective care. Obama pledged to make the reform "deficit-neutral," which will require billions of dollars in funding cuts, primarily at hospitals. This is causing an increasing tension between hospitals and nurses. For example, in Minnesota last month, the largest nurses strike in U.S. history took place with over 12,000 RNs picketing to pressure local hospitals to cap the number of patients seen per nurse. A recent study from the University of Pennsylvania showed that smaller workloads can lower the risk of patient death during surgery. Currently, hospitals are resisting patient-per-nurse limits, but 18 states are considering caps or regulations, and they may soon have no choice.
