    Author: De Groot HA.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 1989 Jun; 19(6):30-5. PubMed ID: 2723792.
    Abstract:
    How can nurse executives assure optimum patient classification system performance? This two-part series advances a framework for patient classification system (PCS) evaluation. Using an expanded definition of a PCS, part one presents a discussion of the six system elements considered essential to a fully operational PCS. Part Two offers a description of PCS selection criteria as well as keys to successful system implementation. Application of this evaluation framework allows for rapid problem identification and remediation, assists with PCS selection, and enhances overall system performance.
