Patient Acuity is the measurement of the intensity of nursing care required by a patient. Healthcare organisations use patient acuity assessment to optimise their nursing resources and provide high-quality care to their patients.

What is the Acuity-Based Staffing model?

 

Acuity-based staffing allocates resources based on patients’ needs, rather than just patient numbers. Assigning the number of nurses needed per shift based merely on the number of patients may not be in the best interests of patients. For example, patients may require a dedicated nurse 24/7 when in intensive care but need minimal care on the day they are discharged.

With our automated acuity-based staffing solutions, you can optimise nursing rosters and assignments with patients’ dependency needs and be sure that you are making the best use of your workforce. It allows you to achieve quality patient outcomes, more efficient employee scheduling, reduced costs and increased employee satisfaction and retention.

Benefits of Workforce Management Software based on Patient Acuity
