Nurse Shortages Cost Lives
According to a recent study in the Journal of
the American Medical Association, an estimated
20,000 people die each year because they have
checked into a hospital with overworked nurses.
That’s a fifth of the roughly 98,000 deaths
attributed each year to medical errors in the
U.S.
Many advocates belief that severe cost-cutting
measures by some understaffed hospitals have led
to substandard care in some cases. The study
suggests that adding patients to caseloads of
overworked nurses can result in a serious
mistake.
