  • Title: Automated patient acuity. Linking nursing systems and quality measurement with patient outcomes.
    Author: Finnigan SA, Abel M, Dobler T, Hudon L, Terry B.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 1993 May; 23(5):62-71. PubMed ID: 8509882.
    Abstract:
    Traditional patient classification systems no longer provide a useful function for nursing management. Value from these systems can only be realized through major revisions and integration with other systems. The resulting transformed system, linking patient outcomes, cost of care, and quality measurements together, provides a valuable measurement tool and enables nursing to demonstrate their value to the industry. The authors describe their rationale and experience in designing such a system.
