The Rise of Patient Sitters: The Financial Burden on Organizations

This Nurse Executive Practicum Management Project, will be looking at the rise in the

need for patient sitters at Houston Methodist Willowbrook hospital and the financial burden

on the hospital. This project will aim to address some of the following points. How well are

patient’s sitters being utilized at Houston Methodist Willowbrook hospital? What is the

financial impact on the facility with patient sitters working an average of 4574 hours per

year? The reason why 34 full time employee (FTEs) patient sitters were utilized in 2017 that

weren’t forecasted in the budget. Is it the norm for patient sitters to work 4574 hours

annually? What are policies and procedures required for patient sitters? Lastly, what are the

patient requirements for the need of a sitter? In addressing each of the points, the matter can

be assessed in a complete manner and future decisions on the subject can be taken

objectively.

Patient sitters, are a requirement within the structures of Houston Methodist

Willowbrook hospital, currently patient sitters are working over 4000 hours annually, with

high budgetary expenses, can other non-expensive options be explored? Patient sitters

increase hospital costs and reduce available resources for the healthcare team. When a patient

is deemed a sitter case, employees are pulled from there assigned floor and re-assigned to the

patient sitter to cover the shift. Employing patient sitters are one aggressive approach,

however; it assures patient safety. How does employing patient sitters affect the patients, the

hospital and the budget are what needs to be assessed during this Nurse Executive

Management Project.
