Abstract
Economic constraints, the information explosion, and advancement of scientific theories have resulted in the need for nurses to document their unique contribution to health care through validation of nursing resources consumed by patients. However, various classification systems have not predicted nursing resources well. This study reviews the theoretical frameworks, reliability, validity, and utility of nursing acuity and severity systems. It proposes a conceptual model for a new nursing classification system to be used for the validation of nursing resources, as the basis of a reimbursement system for nursing services, and for multiple practical and theoretical applications.
