The physicians in the ICU, ER, and pulmonary medicine department have demanded a meeting about the shortage of respiratory therapists. As the new hospital administrator, you will need to gather several types of information to have an intelligent discussion. You will need data on current staffing levels, patient loads and outcomes, physician and staff satisfaction, turnover rates, and compliance with quality and safety standards in order to understand the scope of the issue and make a case for recruiting and hiring more respiratory therapists. Your role is to listen to concerns, take the issue seriously, and work with the board to promptly address the staffing needs in order to improve health outcomes and performance.
