The authors estimate that hospitals spend $15,000,000 yearly on nurse staffing studies. Unfortunately, much of this annual investment is used to reinvent the wheel. Therefore, this article recommends standardizing the terminology and some of the basic principles for patient classification (the basis of nurse staffing systems) so that directors of nursing can better assess their organizations and make meaningful comparisons with other institutions. This article is adapted from a presentation at the annual meeting of the Hospital Management Systems Society, Tucson, Arizona, February 15, 1979.
作者估计,医院每年在护士人员配置研究上花费1500万美元。不幸的是,这笔年度投资的很大一部分都被用于做重复劳动。因此,本文建议对患者分类(护士人员配置系统的基础)的术语和一些基本原则进行标准化,以便护理主任能够更好地评估他们的机构,并与其他机构进行有意义的比较。本文改编自1979年2月15日在亚利桑那州图森市医院管理系统协会年会上的一次演讲。
