The linkage of nursing assessment and nursing workload.
The automated linkage of nursing assessment, nursing interventions, nursing workload measurement, and outcomes supports the user in practice and increases the explanatory power of nursing data, e.g. in DRG systems. Practice relevant data should therefore be available for the different needs for information by policy, management, research and training. To this end, two projects have gradually linked the outcome-oriented nursing assessment instrument AcuteCare (ePA-AC) and the nursing intervention and workload measurement system LEP Nursing 3 with each other.
