title: Sensitivity and care: vital tools for skill-mix review.
abstract: The issue of skill mix has become linked in the minds of many nurses with 'skill dilution'. This paper discusses the ideas used in a skill-mix review and looks at the essential differences between skill mix and grade mix. The authors have examined the literature and draw some important lessons, providing pointers for anybody who is charged with, or whose unit is subject to, a skill-mix review.
