A missing consideration: the psychiatric patient classification for scheduling-staffing systems.

The psychiatric nursing department at a university teaching hospital identified the need to develop a management tool to systematically and objectively determine resource requirements (staffing) for unique psychiatric patient populations. A classification methodology was needed for budget development, trending, productivity monitoring, and potentially developing a rich data base for nursing research. A study of existing classification systems found them to be limited for use in psychiatric settings. The psychiatric nursing department designed and implemented a patient classification tool based on biopsychosocial needs manifested by psychiatric patients in acute care settings.

Evaluating very small and rapidly evolving programs. Consultation in the case of a health careers information program.

The case of a health careers program evaluation illustrates some aspects of evaluating very small and rapidly evolving programs. Such programs can change quickly, since there is no massive bureaucracy to restrain them. Rigid evaluation research methods would frustrate both researchers and program staff. The authors suggest that flexible design, use of specialized interviewing and analytical experiments--in this case, telephone surveys testing program response--and a recognition that a consultative relationship exists will result in outcomes useful to the program and rich in evaluation data.
