The provision of single rooms for the care of patients who require isolation may not match the number required. Placing patients in isolation facilities may have an effect on their psychological wellbeing and the quality of care delivered. To ensure a rational and consistent approach to the prioritization of single room usage, an existing prioritization system was revised. This was validated by a group of experts and tested in an acute hospital. A simple short cut guide was developed and used.
为需要隔离护理的患者提供单人病房的数量可能与实际需求不匹配。将患者安置在隔离设施中可能会对他们的心理健康和所提供的护理质量产生影响。为确保以合理且一致的方式确定单人病房使用的优先级，对现有的优先级系统进行了修订。该系统经一组专家验证，并在一家急症医院进行了测试。随后制定并使用了一个简单的捷径指南。
