More patient care, less paperwork

Visual form

Two-row horizontal bar comparison chart.

Layout / body structure

The page stacks a Current row above an Ideal row, and each frame of the animation compares the same nursing activity in the two rows so the reader moves top to bottom within each activity.

What is being compared

It compares how registered nurses currently spend a typical shift versus how they would ideally allocate time across activities such as direct patient care, coaching peers, professional growth, documentation, and support work.

Measurement system

The measure is percent of shift, and the bars are labeled directly so the current and ideal shares can be read without a separate axis.

Visible structure inside the graphic

Each frame uses paired horizontal bars, clear Current and Ideal labels on the left, activity labels above the bars, and numeric values printed inside or beside the bars.

Main takeaway from the visual

The chart is built to show that nurses want more of their shift to go to patient-facing and developmental work and less of it to be absorbed by administrative tasks.

Key standout values or extremes

In the direct-patient-care frame, the current bar is labeled 54 and the ideal bar 56, which makes the desired shift upward visible even before the chart moves to the other activity categories.
