Proposed ratios include 1 to 1 for patients in ventilated critical care; 1 to 2 in non-ventilated critical care, high-dependency mental health, and high-acuity; 1 to 3 in special care; 1 to 4 in inpatient and palliative care; and 1 to 5 in rehabilitation
British Columbia will become the first province to adopt minimum nurse-to-patient staffing ratios in an effort to improve nurses’ working conditions and patient care.
The BC Nurses’ Union called the new model “transformative.” More than 80 per cent of members polled last year had said it was a top priority in improving working and practice conditions. Proposed nurse-to-patient ratios, which are subject to change, include 1 to 1 for patients in ventilated critical care; 1 to 2 in non-ventilated critical care, high-dependency mental health, and high-acuity; 1 to 3 in special care; 1 to 4 in inpatient and palliative care; and 1 to 5 in rehabilitation. Ratios are still being developed for other units, including operating rooms and emergency departments.
The ratios will apply to hospitals, long-term and residential care, within the community, and in non-hospital settings. The government and union modelled its nurse-to-patient ratios after those in California and parts of Australia.and retain nurses. Mr. Dix said targets will be measured in hours, and any funding to support the new nurse-to-patient ratios that is left over each year will remain with nurses, through retention bonuses, training, mental wellness and other such initiatives.
