Acuity

Deriving labor efficiency from adjusted hours per patient day in comparison with historical data and budgets is recognized as a flawed approach. Efficient patient care results by driving nursing workload and skills requirements from current patient acuity level assessments and then controlling the cost per hour.

Acuity-adjusted nurse staffing is legislated in many states and having a valid mechanism in place to determine proper staffing levels is becoming more important to Joint Commission. This is another evidence-based practice available from Concerro with ShiftSelect or RES-Q LRM, using our methodology or any other standard assessment tool.
