A patient acuity classification is required by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, and this is vital in providing safe, cost-effective nursing care. The Workload Management System for Nurses (WMSN), which is based on direct and indirect nursing care research, prospectively classifies patients on the basis of direct care requirements and then establishes staffing levels on the basis of both direct care and indirect care workloads. Application of the Department of Defense WMSN to the military burn research center is feasible and has provided data for objective staffing adjustments and validated staffing requirements. In addition, several other quality assurance implications have been realized as a result of implementation of the system.
医疗组织评审联合委员会要求进行患者 acuity 分类，这对于提供安全、具有成本效益的护理至关重要。护士工作量管理系统（WMSN）基于直接和间接护理研究，根据直接护理需求对患者进行前瞻性分类，然后根据直接护理和间接护理工作量确定人员配备水平。将国防部的 WMSN 应用于军事烧伤研究中心是可行的，并且为客观的人员配备调整提供了数据，并验证了人员配备要求。此外，由于该系统的实施，还实现了其他一些质量保证方面的影响。
