  • Title: Multiple shift patient classification: is it necessary?
    Author: Kinley J, Cronenwett LR.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 1987 Feb; 17(2):22-5. PubMed ID: 3102705.
    Abstract:
    Efficient, cost-effective patient classification systems are an essential component of information needed for staffing projections, budgeting, productivity monitoring, and determining the cost of nursing services. Data collection on every shift is typical of GRASP-based patient classification systems. In this study, comparisons among multiple shift measurements showed that no relevant information was being gained by multiple daily assessments of patient care requirements.
