This document summarizes an evidence-based proposal to address low nurse-to-patient ratios in emergency departments. The proposal investigates how low staffing ratios are associated with adverse patient outcomes. It then establishes methods to mitigate the issues caused by low ratios, such as raising staffing levels in the emergency department. An implementation plan is proposed which identifies the current problems and provides strategies for staffing changes. An evaluation plan is also included to continuously assess the strategy as it is implemented and provide feedback to adjust the program.
