Patient acuity measurement tools

Patient acuity measurement tools are systems used in healthcare to assess the severity of a patient's condition and determine the level of care they need. These tools analyze various factors such as vital signs, symptoms, and medical interventions to assign a score or category. This helps healthcare providers prioritize resources, plan staffing, and ensure that patients receive appropriate attention based on their condition. Essentially, acuity tools provide a structured way to evaluate and compare patient needs, promoting safe, efficient, and effective care delivery.
