PATIENT NEEDS STAFFING Sample Clauses

PATIENT NEEDS STAFFING. General Principles The Facilities shall have a staffing system based on assessment of patient needs in conformance with the accreditation requirements of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals and Title 22 of the California Administrative Code. The Facilities agree to conform its system to any future changes adopted by either body during the term of the contract. The patient classification system shall be a method of determining staffing requirements for each patient, each unit and each shift as appropriate, based on physical observation and assessment of each patient by the RN who is responsible for the patient. The system will be adhered to in all areas to which it is applicable, and for patient care areas such as outpatient surgery, equivalent or appropriate systems for assessing staffing needs will be maintained. In the event the scheduled staffing is insufficient to meet the specific staffing ratios called for by the system, the Facilities will make every reasonable effort to procure additional personnel. Should persistent shortages be identified, the Facilities will take the necessary steps to ensure safe patient care. The staffing system with full information summarizing or explaining the system will be located in the appropriate manual on every nursing unit, and a copy will be provided to the Professional Performance Committee, upon request. As a general practice, newly hired Nurses will not be counted in the regular staffing complement during orientation, or portions thereof as designated in advance by the Facilities; provided, however, that the Facilities shall determine the duration and scope of orientation to be given, based upon the Nurse’s prior experience and/or training. Exceptions to this general practice may occur, provided that such exceptions shall not be unreasonably made. Within ninety (90) days of ratification of this Agreement, the Facilities shall, upon request, make available for review by CNA its orientation practices relative to newly hired Nurses, if those practices have changed since the Facilities last submission and subsequently if the Facilities change these practices.
