Decreasing length of in-patient stay and increasing the number of outpatient procedures being performed has led to the creation of the 23/24-hour observation patient. In this study, the authors show that the addition of observation patients to aggregate workload data causes a meaningful staffing deficit 60-90% of the time in three out of four clinical areas studied. The authors explore the statistical impact on staffing of the addition of observation patients to aggregate inpatient data and provide several strategies for staffing.
住院时间的缩短以及门诊手术数量的增加导致了23/24小时观察患者的出现。在本研究中，作者表明，在所研究的四个临床领域中的三个领域，将观察患者纳入总工作量数据时，有60%至90%的时间会导致显著的人员配置不足。作者探讨了将观察患者纳入住院患者总数据对人员配置的统计影响，并提供了几种人员配置策略。
