APPLICATION OF NEMS SCALE IN THE QUANTIFICATION OF NURSING WORK IN A MULTIPURPOSE ICU
Abstract
Workloads nursing should be the basis for the staffing of nursing. In the present study, using the scale of NEMS workloads to hear and evaluate the utilization of human resources of a polyvalent ICU. It is noted that the score of that scale is high, and that the rate of use of labour is higher than the European average, and that the efficiency of human resources of the unit is higher. There is a correlation between severity of the patients and scoring NEMS, as well as conditions of isolation. The valuation of workloads allows an ICU monitor and evaluate adequately the potential changes in time, as well as sharing of resources between units objectively, always competing in times of shortage of human resources.Downloads
