RES-Q^® Patient Classification System

Patients

Measuring Patient Acuity. Does this important task have to require so much time and effort by nurses? At RES-Q, we believe that your nurses should be delivering quality patient care, not calculating patient acuity levels. That is why RES-Q has made patient acuity measurement logical and practical.

What makes the RES-Q Patient Classification System a breakthrough? The methodology enables your hospital to systematically formulate and implement a customized set of patient attributes that are the best predictors of patient care and workload for your practices, your patient mix and your community expectations. While the definitions of acuity are customized, the methodology captures a high degree of both internal and external validity.

Our goal is to deploy a practical approach that matches your patient care standards and practices, and validate it within your community and management expectations. With RES-Q, you do not have to settle for a “one size fits all” patient classification scheme which assumes that a standardized list of interventions and weights will apply to your facilities. Our proven methodology will not only predict your patient care requirements more accurately, it will also maintain its validity longer because it is based on your patient care patterns. And the process is quick and easy – with an average classification time of less than a minute per patient – allowing you to keep your focus where it belongs: on patient care.
