The Cost

This quantitative case study aimed to learn and analyze the personnel cost in nursing direct care in the intensive care unit. We opted to use a therapeutic intervention score index, TISS-28, for the analysis of the indirect gravity of patients and the dimension of the nursing staff working time. Evaluating the cost by a gravity score presented to be a logical and relatively simple method to allocate costs per patient in the intensive care unit. In this exploratory and descriptive study, the average TISS-28 per patient was 31 points, requiring a daily expenditure of care hours of R$ 298.69. It was evidenced in this study that personnel costs are variable since there are patients with different complexities. Therefore is possible to estimate the nursing staff cost by assessing its work load.

Abstract Objective: To compare the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) between the Assistance Sites in an Intensive Care Unit. Method: Descriptive, retrospective study, carried out in the Intensive Care Unit of a teaching hospital. The patients were organized in Assistance Sites according to their clinical characteristics and the nursing team's composition was organized in accordance with the Nursing Activities Score (NAS). The confidence interval was set at p < 0.05. Results: the majority were male surgical patients with a mean age of 56.8 years. The postoperative care Site presented the greatest patient turnover. The overall average NAS was 71.7%. There was a difference in the nursing workload between the different Assistance Sites. The shorter length of stay and the nonsurvivors contributed to increasing the workload in the ICU. Conclusion: Comparing the NAS in the different Sites made it possible to organize the work process of the nursing team according to each group, contributing to patient safety.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify absenteeism of nursing technicians in an Intensive Care Unit and to verify the association between absenteeism and workload. Method: cross-sectional retrospective study of documentary source and quantitative approach. It was performed in an adult intensive care unit with 4,920 measurements from the Nursing Activities Score in 2017, in order to extract the nursing workload, and control absenteeism, considering the absences recorded in the management register of the department. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed, dividing the intensive care unit into two groups (ICU I and ICU II), according to team shifts. Results: in the period analyzed, 461 absences were observed, with a higher proportion in ICU II (5.35%, p-value=0.00). This group also had the highest Nursing Activities Score (99.76) average. However, workload and absenteeism showed no statistically significant correlation in the analyzed groups (ICU I, r=0.02 and ICU II, r=0.06). Conclusion: there was no statistically significant association between absenteeism and workload of nursing technicians in the Intensive Care Unit. However, the team with the highest workload was the most absent.

The Cost

The coils of operating a psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU) were recorded for a six-month period. There were 110 admissions and 99 discharges. Mean length of stay was 12.3 days. Total costs were £346,516 over the study period, £283.56 per patient-day. Fixed costs comprised 93% of the total, inducing nursing staff ($169,447), overheads ($77,017), medical staff ($48,819), hotel costs (£24,160) and miscellaneous (£1,750). Variable costs included special nursing, (£19,405), treatment of major self-harm (£3,024), drugs (£1,707) and staff time to manage aggressive incidents (£1,188). Reduction of the incidence of aggression could result in valuable cost savings.
