A Delphi-based framework for optimizing nurse staffing in Chinese hospitals.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this study was to develop an evaluation system for the allocation of hospital nursing human resources in hospitals in the context of the Healthy China initiative.

Aims

The evaluation system aims to provide a foundation and recommendations for optimizing the allocation of hospital nursing human resources by providing data-driven insights to guide staffing decisions. These recommendations are designed to enhance patient safety, reduce adverse events, and improve overall nursing care quality while supporting the sustainable development of healthcare systems. The system also seeks to enhance nursing human resource management by enabling managers to allocate resources more effectively based on clinical workload, patient needs, and nursing competencies.
