Registered nurses (RNs) are one of many inputs that produce patient outcomes at some level of quality for a price. Optimal levels of any input are those that produce the most efficient outcome with relation to quality and cost. Through the use of optimization techniques, efficient staffing levels can be calculated to either minimize negative outcomes or maximize positive outcomes. Thus, the value of RNs can be established empirically and be precisely measured against other staffing inputs.
注册护士是众多投入要素之一，这些要素以一定的质量水平和价格产生患者治疗结果。任何投入要素的最优水平是那些在质量和成本方面产生最有效结果的水平。通过使用优化技术，可以计算出有效的人员配备水平，以尽量减少负面结果或最大化正面结果。因此，注册护士的价值可以通过实证确定，并与其他人员配备投入进行精确衡量。
