Workloads, safe staffing and the BPF

The Business Planning Framework: a tool for nursing and midwifery workload management (BPF) is the agreed tool to manage nursing and midwifery staffing levels across Queensland Health facilities. The tool is used to achieve a balance between service demand and the supply of nursing/midwifery resources necessary to meet the identified demand. The BPF is also the agreed methodology to resolve concerns regarding workload and safe staffing levels.
