title: [Personnel calculation in health care: intensive care and intermediate care units].
abstract: BACKGROUND

  METHODS
  The methods of working-scientific analyses in practice with the respective factors are shown.
  
  
  RESULTS
  It seems clear that a fair personnel calculation is limited by scarce financial resources and political policy.
