    Journal: Nurs Stand; 1997 Mar 12; 11(25):33-8. PubMed ID: 9115870.
    Abstract:
    An assessment tool was developed to measure patient dependency and staff skill mix in a child psychiatry inpatient unit. The authors discuss the results of a three-month pilot implementation. The implications for practice include adjustments in staff duty rotas, allocation of skill mix and the systematic assessment of patient dependency before inpatient admission.
