Mass. association Web site to detail nursing hours

 

The Massachusetts Hospital Association will start posting on a Web site (www.patientsfirst.org) staffing plans for each of the hospitals in the state, reports the Boston Globe. The staffing plans include the number of hours nurses spend with patients.

 

For each unit of each hospital, consumers will be able to find the average number of patients per day, the number of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and nursing assistants working each shift, and any other staff available on each shift, such as a nutritionist or respiratory therapist. The site also lists the average number of hours a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse spends daily with each patient.
