Development of real-time decision support and predictive forecasting tools.

Main Results:

Participating hospitals reported increased patient satisfaction.
Demonstrated cost savings through reduced nursing overtime and improved length of stay management.
Generated new data on nursing hours, costs, and patient outcomes across the acute care continuum.

Conclusions:

The Value-Based Resource Management model effectively enhances nursing care value in a shifting healthcare landscape.
The initiative provided expanded business intelligence crucial for value-based population health management.
Technology integration and data utilization are key to achieving both quality care and financial efficiency.
