Analysis of Nurse Response Times Across Shifts: January 1–15, 2013
Analyze the average nursing shift response times for the first 15 days in January
2013 as presented in the report. Discuss the performance, consistency, and
deviations for the night, evening, and day shifts. Propose potential factors
contributing to the observed trends and suggest measures for improving the
response times in each shift. Also, evaluate the significance of deviations across
shifts and how these might impact patient care. Provide recommendations for
further improvements.
Word Count Requirement: 750–1000 words.

Director of Nursing,
The purpose of this report is to present the average response time for the nurses
on each shift for each of the first 15 days in January of this year. At the end of this
report you will find a graphic displaying the desired information in the form of
three overlapping line graphs. All information used to generate the graphic was
obtained through use of the automated Responder 5 system.
The night shift not only recorded the fastest response time average, but was also
the most consistent in their performance. Contributing to this is the smaller
number of visitors in the hospital, as well as the number of patients that are
asleep at the time. As you can see, their average response time was always less
than two minutes.
There is one significant deviation from the average value for the evening shift,
and two significant deviations for the day shift. It would be preferable to reduce
or eliminate these as much as possible, but they are not unacceptable.
One trend that may be interesting is that the deviations in one shift did not
