    Journal: Nurs Manage; 1996 Dec; 27(12):29-31. PubMed ID: 9004698.
    Abstract:
    With the assistance of a consultant, an individualized patient classification system (PCS) tool was developed and studies of direct and indirect nursing care were conducted, using over 170 patients in a medical/surgical division. Data were subjected to linear regression techniques and point values ranges and classification categories were established. Also, several significant areas for improvement were identified.
