The Nurse Staffing Standards for Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2004 (H.R. 4316)
Introduced by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)
The Nurse Staffing Standards for Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2004 establishes minimum registered nurse-to-patient staffing ratios to improve patient safety and quality of care and to address the nursing shortage that has left our nation’s hospitals critically understaffed.
Bill Summary
By January 2007—two years later for rural hospitals—hospitals will be expected to develop and implement nurse staffing plans that meet newly-established minimum direct care registered nurse-to-patient ratios, adjust staffing levels based on acuity of patients and other factors, and ensure quality care and patient safety.
