    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Nursing Administration
    • Hospital Operations

    Background:

    • Hospitals require efficient systems for resource allocation and patient care.
    • Effective staffing and budgeting are critical for nursing services.
    • St. Joseph Hospital, Albuquerque, identified a need for a structured patient acuity system.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a patient acuity system for nursing services.
    • To assess the impact of the system on staffing, budgeting, and patient care quality.
    • To demonstrate the system's role in operational efficiency and financial management.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and implementation of a patient acuity system.
    • Continuous maintenance and refinement of the system over four years.
