  • Title: Patient classification systems capture nursing costs.
    Author: Ruman JM, Nelson DL.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1987 Jul; 41(7):84-6, 88. PubMed ID: 10282638.
    Abstract:
    Financial managers expect nursing salaries to reflect declining hospital utilization. Nursing managers, however, expect salaries to reflect the increase in nursing care required by a sicker patient population. With the use of a patient classification system, the cost of the nursing portion of a hospital's operating expenses and the correct amount of nursing labor required by patients can be determined. By determining appropriate staffing levels, high quality nursing care can be delivered in a cost efficient manner.
