As part of a five-year effort to evaluate alternative methods of improving nurse productivity, this study was undertaken to better understand work flow monitoring as a technique for stabilizing staffing patterns and to improve productivity in hospitals. Two admissions scheduling and monitoring systems were studied and compared with an admissions system without an explicit monitoring function in three medical-surgical units of a 641-bed community hospital. The admissions system based on monitoring case mix was found to be more effective than the system based on monitoring census. Both were significantly more effective than the admissions system without an explicit monitoring function.
作为一项为期五年的评估提高护士工作效率替代方法的工作的一部分，开展这项研究是为了更好地理解工作流程监控作为一种稳定人员配置模式和提高医院工作效率的技术。研究并比较了两种住院安排和监控系统与一家拥有641张床位的社区医院三个内科-外科病房中一个没有明确监控功能的住院系统。发现基于监控病例组合的住院系统比基于监控人口普查的系统更有效。两者都比没有明确监控功能的住院系统显著更有效。
