A staffing standard proposal for patient and non-patient areas in hospitals. Philadelphia Chapter of the National Executive Housekeepers Association

The Philadelphia Chapter of N.E.H.A. submits the following proposal for publication. We feel very strongly about the need to formalize some staffing standards for hospitals and all related healthcare facilities. The incentive comes from the current trend in administrative philosophies to "do more with less." The less means less for the support departments whose contribution is viewed most times as less worthy because we do not directly generate revenue. Oddly enough, the revenue generators cannot make money without the non-revenue generators.
