<strong>RN4CAST</strong> <strong>RATIONALE</strong><br />

• Nursing workforce planning and forecasting efforts…<br />

• have a poor record of accurately predicting future nursing<br />

workforce needs and of informing policy interventions that avoid<br />

cyclical shortages.<br />

• don’t take into account the dynamics between nurse-to-patient<br />

ratios, skill mix, nurse education level, and nursing work<br />

environment on one hand and nurse wellbeing and patient<br />

outcomes on the other hand.<br />
