The psychiatric nursing department at a university teaching hospital identified the need to develop a management tool to systematically and objectively determine resource requirements (staffing) for unique psychiatric patient populations. A classification methodology was needed for budget development, trending, productivity monitoring, and potentially developing a rich data base for nursing research. A study of existing classification systems found them to be limited for use in psychiatric settings. The psychiatric nursing department designed and implemented a patient classification tool based on biopsychosocial needs manifested by psychiatric patients in acute care settings.
一所大学教学医院的精神科护理部门发现有必要开发一种管理工具,以便系统、客观地确定针对特定精神科患者群体的资源需求(人员配备)。预算制定、趋势分析、生产力监测以及潜在地为护理研究建立丰富的数据库都需要一种分类方法。对现有分类系统的研究发现,它们在精神科环境中的应用有限。精神科护理部门基于急性护理环境中精神科患者表现出的生物心理社会需求,设计并实施了一种患者分类工具。
