  • Title: Patient intensity in an ambulatory oncology research center: A step forward for the field of ambulatory care--Part II.
    Author: Jones A, Cusack G, Chisholm L.
    Journal: Nurs Econ; 2004; 22(3):120-3, 107. PubMed ID: 15211914.
    Abstract:
    Nursing leaders in ambulatory care need to objectively quantify patient intensity to balance patient care needs and nursing resources. In this three-part series, current literature on acuity/intensity tools will be reviewed, and the development of an Ambulatory Intensity System (AIS) to objectively quantify nursing care will be described. In this article, the ongoing implementation of the system, its incorporation into the organization's established computerized appointment system, reliability measures, and related performance improvement activities will be discussed.
