New York Nurses Rally for Staffing Limits

More than a hundred nurses from the New York State Nurses Association rallied in front of the office of the state’s Department of Health in support of a bill that would establish a minimum nurse-to-patient ratio at hospitals in the state, according to a WNYT report.

The bill was considered by two state Assembly committees last year but has not yet been considered in any Senate committee, according to the report.

The Health Care Association of New York State opposes the bill, saying each hospital’s nursing leadership should determine safe and appropriate staffing levels, not the state.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
