Department of Dentistry, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Background: Current methods for oral health workforce planning lack responsiveness to dynamic needs, hampering efficiency, equity and sustainability. Effective workforce planning is vital for resilient health care systems and achieving universal health coverage. Given this context, we developed and operationalised a needs-adaptive oral health workforce planning model and explored the potential of various future scenarios.

Article Synopsis
- This study looks at how well nursing leaders in Europe are using research to make decisions about staffing.
- They asked leaders from 12 different countries about their staffing and work organization but found that many didn't have complete data.
- The conclusion is that simply knowing about research isn't enough; nurse leaders need to push for better staffing policies using the evidence they have.

School of Healthcare, University of Leeds, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Background: Care needs amongst 425,000 dependent older residents in English care homes are becoming more complex. The quality of care in these homes is influenced by staffing levels, especially the presence of registered nurses (RNs). Existing research on this topic, often US-focused and relying on linear assumptions, has limitations.

Health Soc Care Deliv Res
April 2024
Bupa UK, Leeds, UK.
Background: Quality of life and care varies between and within the care homes in which almost half a million older people live and over half a million direct care staff (registered nurses and care assistants) work. The reasons are complex, understudied and sometimes oversimplified, but staff and their work are a significant influence.
Objective(s): To explore variations in the care home nursing and support workforce; how resident and relatives' needs in care homes are linked to care home staffing; how different staffing models impact on care quality, outcomes and costs; how workforce numbers, skill mix and stability meet residents' needs; the contributions of the care home workforce to enhancing quality of care; staff relationships as a platform for implementation by providers.
The association between nurse staffing and quality of care in emergency departments: A systematic review.

May 2024
School of Health Sciences, University of Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom.
Article Synopsis
- The relationship between nurse staffing and quality of care in emergency departments is less understood compared to medical and surgical settings, with existing evidence suggesting worse outcomes when staffing is low.
- A systematic review of 16 studies revealed that lower nurse staffing levels are linked to increased patient wait times, more patients leaving without seeing a doctor, and longer hospital stays.
- Although there is a lack of robust evidence, the findings indicate that inadequate nurse staffing leads to delays in medications and interventions, and a higher risk of serious incidents like cardiac arrest in emergency departments.
