Patient classification systems (PCSs) for ambulatory care are difficult to develop because there are so few similarities among groups of patients and/or diagnoses in relation to the required nursing activities. In addition, the nursing activities required for specific patients and/or diagnoses also are dissimilar in relation to nursing time required. Therefore, a PCS was developed to assess staffing needs. This outpatient classification system reflects actual nursing time spent with each patient.
门诊护理的患者分类系统（PCSs）很难开发，因为与所需护理活动相关的患者群体和/或诊断之间的相似性很少。此外，特定患者和/或诊断所需的护理活动在所需护理时间方面也不相同。因此，开发了一种患者分类系统来评估人员配备需求。这种门诊分类系统反映了与每位患者实际花费的护理时间。
