NYONE takes Lead in Seeking Legislative Support

Brought to you by

*Project 6,000 fewer surgical deaths annually when 60% of nurses are prepared at the BS level.

*Project a 10% reduction in the 200,000 hospital acquired pressure ulcers each year. The published additional length of stay from hospital acquired pressure ulcers is 3.98 days, thus the potential savings is 17.5 million dollars annually.

*With the reduction of the Length of Stay (LOS) by 0.2 days there is a potential capacity for 400,000 additional patient days.

*Every 1% reduction in RN turnover saves $12.9 million statewide.
