Abstract:
Establishing accurate and standardized values for bedside-care activities is crucial to the development of resource utilization prediction and management systems. We describe our experience of associating a representative sample of activities extracted from interdisciplinary patient care standards developed at Intermountain Healthcare with an external database of time & motion valued actions. The association exercise revealed important considerations for the development of a standard methodology for linking activities to future national or international standardized value units.
