    Abstract:
    How can nurse executives ensure flexible staffing to meet rapidly changing patient care requirements? Part 1 of this two-part series offered a new way to conceptualize and evaluate current methods of staffing with patient classification systems (PCS). Advantages and disadvantages of each PCS-driven staffing method are explored and implications for nurse executives are examined. A promising new method of PCS-related staffing is described further in Part 2, and implementation strategies are discussed.
