Economic Modelling of the Nurses' Labour Market in Australia

护士在卫生系统中发挥着重要作用，有助于确保个人过上更健康、更幸福和更有成效的生活。制定具有成本效益的政策，以确保提供充足的积极主动和富有成效的护士，对于实现卫生保健系统的效率和公平至关重要。这一结果将被政府用来帮助为护士设定最优的薪酬和条件，并确保这些与其他护士雇主相比具有竞争力。这将为减少护士短缺提供坚实的证据基础，从而提高澳大利亚患者护理的质量。

Nurses play an important role in the health system and help to ensure individuals lead healthier, happier and more productive lives. Devising cost-effective policies to ensure an adequate supply of motivated and productive nurses is crucial in achieving efficiency and equity in the health care system. The results will be used by government to help set optimal pay and conditions for nurses, and to ensure that these are competitive with other nurse employers. This will provide a firm evidence-base to reduce nurse shortages and therefore increase the quality of patient care in Australia.
