Bill > HB06580

This bill proposes to amend section 368v of the general statutes to improve patient-to-staff ratios for nurse's aides and nurses in long-term and acute inpatient facilities. The goal is to enhance patient care quality, create better working conditions, and help retain healthcare staff in these settings. While the specific details of the patient-to-staff ratio changes are not provided in this bill text, the underlying intent is to address staffing challenges in healthcare facilities by potentially mandating more reasonable workloads for nursing personnel. By reducing the number of patients each nurse or nurse's aide is responsible for, the bill aims to improve both the working environment for healthcare workers and the quality of care received by patients in long-term and acute care settings.
