A patient classification system was developed integrating a patient acuity instrument with a computerized nursing distribution method based on an optimization algorithm. The objective was to minimize the total number of nursing personnel used by optimally assigning the nursing staff to meet the acuity needs of the various clinical units in the hospital. The validity of the model to assign staff was established by a 30-day comparison with the existing manual method of assignment.
开发了一种患者分类系统，该系统将患者 acuity 仪器与基于优化算法的计算机化护理分配方法相结合。目的是通过优化分配护理人员以满足医院各临床科室的 acuity 需求，从而使使用的护理人员总数最小化。通过与现有的手动分配方法进行 30 天的比较，确立了该人员分配模型的有效性。
