Span-of-Control: Cutting Frontline Leadership

Already Overloaded, Now Underfunded: What the Data Says About Cutting Frontline Nursing Leadership

Nurse manager span-of-control has been on the agenda for years. But knowing it's a problem and knowing what to do about it are two different things.

Research shows that for every 8-hour shift, the average acute care nurse manager is responsible for completing more than 24 hours of work. Yet the most common measure of workload — headcount — misses almost everything managers actually carry.

We've compiled the data on what nurse manager workloads actually looks like along with what leading organizations are doing about it.
