  • Title: Work load management system ensures stable nurse-patient ratio.
    Author: Meyer D.
    Journal: Hospitals; 1978 Mar 01; 52(5):81-2, 84-5. PubMed ID: 624541.
    Abstract:
    The concept of adjusting work load to staffing is the reverse of most currently accepted practices. However, that is precisely how this management and measurement system works. Patient care units (PCU'S) are estimated for all incoming admissions, and patients are assigned to the units that have the lowest PCU count, the goal being an even distribution of work load among nursing units.
