Why is it important?
We are facing worse and worse nursing shortage. The critical reason for this bottleneck is our failure to “think out of the box”—or to realize that “there is no box.”
Perspectives
I believe that the solution resides in "creating shared value" among parties through "balancing quality, cost, and nurse staffing in the continuum of changes," which will lead to better nursing workforce practice and policy-making.
