Development and implementation of the troubled outcome risk to improve nursing sensitive outcomes

Abstract

The Troubled Outcome Risk (TOR) was developed to measure allostatic load to improve nursing surveillance and patient outcomes. TOR was implemented on a medical surgical unit to supplement decisions about nurse staffing resulting in a decreased length of stay by 0.3 days, and an improvement of allostatic load at discharge.
