Observations

What are the staffing needs for a program like this? Based on best practices to date, this largely depends upon the number of patients brought onto the program at one time. The ideal manageable number for our locations and patient population 1 RN for every 75-100 patients. Ideally during the first year of implementation there should be at least one fulltime employee dedicated to the program then once it is in place 1 RN with 1 Per Diem Nurse seems to be sufficient.
