MNA conflicts with MHA over nurse-patient assignment ratio bill package Share this: The Michigan Nurses Association (MNA) called on state legislators last week to set limits on nurse-patient assignment ratios in hospitals to improve patient outcomes and reduce burnout. The Safe Patient Care Act, a bill package in both chambers of the Michigan legislature, would address these concerns. The Michigan Health and Hospital Association (MHA) released a statement in opposition to the legislation.
The package comprises House Bill 4482-4484 and Senate Bill 204-206, which are identical in both chambers according to MNA. All bills are currently in their respective health policy committees awaiting discussion.
