title: Measuring and monitoring nursing intensity.
abstract: With the explosion in the volume and array of ambulatory services, Kathleen Parrinello believes that nurse managers must gain a better understanding of nursing care requirements and resources consumed if they want to provide effective and efficient health care. Parinello describes a system for evaluating the nursing care requirements of patients and fitting those requirements to the appropriate level of staff expertise.
