The variables that relate to cost of hospital care for a large sample of elderly patients at risk for falling are examined. The chief predictors of cost of hospitalization were medical, pharmacy, and nursing interventions. Use of nursing interventions, on average, raised the median hospital cost less than use of medical or pharmacy interventions. Using a standardized nursing language with the hospital's information system can provide nurses with information that demonstrates the cost effectiveness of their interventions.
研究了与大量有跌倒风险的老年患者住院护理费用相关的变量。住院费用的主要预测因素是医疗、药房和护理干预措施。平均而言，护理干预措施的使用使住院费用中位数的增加幅度小于医疗或药房干预措施。在医院信息系统中使用标准化护理语言可为护士提供能证明其干预措施成本效益的信息。
