Goshen Hospital Announces New Region-Leading Nurse-To-Patient Ratio Investment

Posted

GOSHEN – Goshen Hospital has announced a new one-to-four nurse-to-patient ratio across all in-patient units.
The new ratio ensures nurses have manageable workloads and the time needed to provide personalized care for every patient.
“Establishing a one-to-four ratio affirms our belief that exceptional care begins with strong support for our nurses who work directly with patients,” said Julie Crossley, MSN, RN, chief nursing officer at Goshen Hospital. “This change allows our nurses the time and focus they need to care for patients while at the same time ensuring a sustainable and healthy work environment for our nursing teams.”
The decision to implement the new ratio comes as many health systems are navigating operational and financial challenges.
