  • Title: Nursing productivity in ambulatory care. A study of nurse staffing in a hospital urology clinic.
    Author: Kippels C, Hoare G.
    Journal: Hosp Top; 1985; 63(4):30-3. PubMed ID: 10274138.
    Abstract:
    Nurse staffing in the Urology Clinic can be determined by utilizing a methodology that projects nurse staffing based on nurse times allocated to specific patient categories plus miscellaneous nurse times. However, this study reaffirmed that any staffing must also be put into the context of the operational clinic. If clinics continue to overlap and the special procedures room continues to operate coincidentally, then staffing has to be available for these functions. However, even if this is the case, alternative methods can be explored to provide this staffing economically (e.g. part time). This Urology Clinic seemed to be an ideal setting for this study both because of its size and because of the "fit" of nursing and non-nursing time into the daily schedule. This study should be duplicated in another urology clinic to add to the reliability of the findings.
