Auditable care workforce sizing: what ART 782/2025 actually requires
Published on · 5 min read
For a long time, sizing the nursing workforce was treated as a spreadsheet exercise, redone occasionally and filed away. That model is no longer enough.
What changed with ART 782/2025 and COFEN 01/2024
COFEN Normative Opinion 01/2024 and ART (Resolution 782/2025) require the nursing Technical Officer to keep a documented and auditable sizing, capable of demonstrating the relationship between care demand, patient classification and the team allocated by unit.
The two risks that travel together
Every care operation lives with two simultaneous risks: understaffing, which exposes the patient and the technical officer, and overstaffing, which inflates payroll cost. Deciding well means balancing both at the same time, by unit and by shift.
Why the spreadsheet no longer solves it
- It does not record the change history and justifications required in audits
- It does not simulate the impact of a schedule change before applying it
- It does not integrate labor law and collective bargaining rules by category
- It does not connect demand, patient classification and capacity in a single base
How to make sizing auditable
The path is to turn rules and demand into live parameters of the operation, with scenario simulation (cost and coverage on the same screen) and full traceability. At VMARSAN, this is structured from diagnosis to go-live on the SYDLE ONE platform.
