title: Workload measurement tracking system.
abstract: Managing a single-room maternity care unit in today's declining length of stay climate is challenging due to the rapid change in acuity and census. Managers must validate staffing patterns used to meet the patient's requisite needs from admission to discharge. This tool was developed to determine proper staffing based on patient days, number of anticipated deliveries and patient care hours.
