Health, Wellness, and BeautySafety Management4HighRegistered Nurse
Nurses cannot find staff to provide 1:1 patient safety observation and need to document the unsafe staffing situation to protect themselves legally.
There is no standardized workflow in the hospital's staffing or incident reporting system to formally document when a 1:1 safety observation is required but no staff is available, and to escalate the issue for accountability.
