Abstract
Changes in staffing levels and the skill mix of the hospital workforce warrant further study to understand both the reasons behind the observed changes and their effects on health outcomes. Although labor efficiency is an important goal, it is also critically important to assess whether reductions and/or the skill mix shifts among support staff impact nurse workload and, by extension, patient safety.
