Decision support instrument balance nursing teams (BNUT).

The project aim is to develop and study a computerized decision support instrument (CDSI), Balance Nursing Teams or BNUT, as a proof of concept, to support decisions about the allocation, monitoring and benchmarking of nursing care composition concerning numbers, qualification and competencies (skills mix) as well as additional roles related to patient care demands. The project focus is on nursing care teams in acute care and psychiatric hospital as well as long-term facilities and home care. BNUT discriminates and predicts the balance of care teams, in a continuum from negative imbalance, balance to positive imbalance, between supply and organization of human resources including their capacity, efficiency and reliability and patient care needs and demands. During a conceptual phase of 10 months, the CDSI BNUT wil be developed to Technology Readiness Level 4 (June 2020).
