The objectives of this study are the comparison and analysis of nursing activities before and after application of OCS in a general hospital, and furnishing basic information for management and education in using OCS for nurses. We could not confirm that the implementation of OCS could reduce indirect nursing time and increase direct nursing time. However, there was a decrease of 7 minutes in direct nursing time. And the making and developing of a new model of direct nursing time and a new model of estimating instruments are mandatory.
