A method by which nursing managers can determine the acuity level of their hospitals' patients, relative to other hospitals, is proposed. Without this information, it is difficult to justify higher staffing needs based on a sicker patient population than other hospitals.
本文提出了一种方法,通过该方法护理管理者能够确定其医院患者相对于其他医院的 acuity 水平。若没有此信息,就难以基于比其他医院病情更重的患者群体来证明更高人员配置需求的合理性。
