Nursing summary and experienced workload.

Nursing summary and experienced workload form a new approach to patient documentation. The data used for this documentation are provided by nurses without being subjected to a formal nomenclature. It is important to highlight patient complexity, nursing difficulty and to evaluate workload. The emphasis on these concepts provides data which allow qualitative and quantitative assessment of the patient's entire stay. After a discussion of the philosophical and economic aspects that are the basis of the methodology, this paper focuses on the design and the development of a nursing database.
