For the past six months, three, awesome, hard-working RNs from our campaign have been participating in Governor Ritter’s Nurse Workforce & Patient Care Task Force.
These committed RNs, along with other members of the Governor's Task Force, will make recommendations for improving health care in Colorado. They will help shape upcoming legislation on everything from ensuring an equal voice for nurses in our hospitals to transparency in reporting. These reforms would make information on staffing, turnover, and other quality indicators transparent to patients, their families, and nurses so that we can all make informed decisions about where to go for care and where to choose to work.
Tell the Governor that you support transparency and safer staffing in our hospitals.
Everyone agrees we need to fix healthcare -at the national level, and right here in Colorado. As a registered nurse, I know that ensuring adequate RN staffing in every Colorado hospital is critical to real healthcare reform. Study after study shows what nurses experience firsthand - more time spent with our patients leads to better outcomes. To ensure nurses are able to provide the highest quality care, I support these measures.
* An equal voice for nurses in setting policies and procedures, like staffing, based on the needs of patients.
* Making Information on staffing, turnover, and infection rates available to the public for more informed healthcare decisions.
