    A new Patient Intensity for Nursing: Ambulatory Care (PINAC) measure was developed and tested. This study details the reliability and validity testing for this important nursing intensity tool in ambulatory settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Healthcare Administration
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Nursing intensity measures are crucial for administrative, clinical, research, and quality management.
    • Existing measures may not adequately capture the complexities of ambulatory care settings.
    • A validated tool is needed to quantify nursing workload in outpatient environments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the reliability and validity testing of the Patient Intensity for Nursing: Ambulatory Care (PINAC) measure.
    • To establish PINAC as a robust tool for assessing nursing intensity in ambulatory care.
    • To provide a foundation for using PINAC in diverse healthcare applications.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved rigorous reliability and validity testing of the PINAC measure.

  • Methodological details of the testing procedures are presented in this publication.
  • This is the second part of a two-part series focusing on PINAC development and evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • The PINAC measure demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity in the tested ambulatory care settings.
    • Results support the use of PINAC for quantifying nursing intensity.
    • Detailed findings from the reliability and validity testing are available within the full study.

    Conclusions:

    • The Patient Intensity for Nursing: Ambulatory Care (PINAC) measure is a reliable and valid tool.
    • PINAC can be effectively utilized for administrative, clinical, research, and quality management in ambulatory care.
    • Further research and application of PINAC are encouraged to optimize nursing resource allocation and patient care.
