Description
Traditional nurse-to-patient staffing ratios often fail to reflect the true complexity of today's oncology patients. This panel explores how health systems are redesigning nursing and support staff models around patient acuity, improving overall care quality, reducing burnout, and ensuring resources consistently match the intensity of care each patient truly requires.
