This study compares direct nursing care costs within specific DRGs between a primary and team nursing unit. Using a computerized information system, data relating to length of stay, acuity, and nursing care costs were collected. The data revealed that, despite an increased acuity of 28%, a daily savings of $1.30 per patient per average DRG was realized by the primary nursing unit.
