title: Patient classification system for I.V. therapy.
abstract: Patient classification systems may be used to justify I.V. work load. The merits of such a system include accurate prediction of staffing requirements based on patient care needs, validation of the I.V. nursing team's productivity and cost-effectiveness, prioritization of the I.V. nursing work load, and evaluation of the quality of I.V. nursing care.
