> If the system causes nurses to spend disproportionate amounts of time on admin work and not on direct patient care, it may be better to look at your admin processes rather than just hire more nurses.

I get the impression that the same is often true for teachers, academics and cops: too much focus on administration, which takes the focus away from the reasons they chose these jobs in the first place. Streamline the administrative process, or have dedicated administrators help them with the boring stuff, so the nurses, teachers and cops can focus on the actual content of their jobs.

I would say streamlining is definitely preferential to do first and sometimes hiring staff afterwards. If the latter is done first it can quickly result in administrative bloat. I often wonder if that's part of the issue with higher education and contributes to some of the increased costs in recent decades.
