Exploring technology to improve patient care
Abstract
Session presented on Sunday, July 27, 2014:
The purpose of the study was 1) to explore the variability of nursing cost per acute care episode for patients with similar DRGs with and without major complications; 2) to investigate the relationship among patient characteristics, nurse characteristics, nursing intensity, and nursing cost as a patient outcome. Four research questions included: What is the variation in nursing cost per acute care episode for patients with the same DRGs without complications, with complications, with major complications? What is the relationship among nursing characteristics (age, years of service, educational degree) on nursing cost per acute care episode? What are the characteristics of nurses assigned to patients with complications and major complications? What is the average nursing cost per day measured at the patient level?
