This article describes a three-year project between nurse researchers, the Saskatchewan Health Authority, the provincial nurses' union and nurses and leadership from two Regina tertiary care emergency departments. The purpose of the project was to create staffing guidelines based on patients' priority care needs. A patient needs assessment tool - the synergy tool - was used to categorize patients' acuity and dependency needs. Staffing guidelines were developed to match patients' needs to nurses' years of experience and classification. Staffing guidelines based on patient needs were compared to guidelines determined by operational budgets. The identified staffing gaps resulted in nurse hires for both emergency departments.
本文介绍了护士研究人员、萨斯喀彻温省卫生局、省级护士工会以及雷吉纳两家三级护理急救部门的护士和领导层之间为期三年的合作项目。该项目的目的是根据患者的优先护理需求制定人员配备指南。采用了一种患者需求评估工具——协同工具，对患者的病情严重程度和依赖程度进行分类。根据患者的需求和护士的工作年限和分类制定了人员配备指南。基于患者需求的人员配备指南与基于运营预算确定的指南进行了比较。确定的人员配备差距导致两个急救部门都增加了护士人手。
