Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore a unified calculation method of clinical nursing workload in a general hospital, so as to compare objectively nursing workload among different departments.
MethodsAs an attempt to figure out the nursing workload, direct nursing time of venous transfusion was used as the statistical basis and direct nursing time of nursing service items in different departments were standardized.
ResultsConversion coefficient among different nursing service items was determined, with the result of realization of reasonable calculation of nursing workload and objective comparison of nursing workload among different departments.
ConclusionsThe unified calculation of clinical nursing workload, using direct nursing time of venous transfusion as the statistical basis, is easy in operation and reliable in results, which makes it operable and feasible in comprehensive performance evaluation system and bonus distribution with serving quality and nursing workload as main index.
