The factor system uses units of measure that equate to nursing time. Nursing tasks are assigned time or
are weighted to reflect the amount of time needed to perform the task. A prototype system allocates
nursing time to large patient groups based on an average of similar patients. The seven domain patient
classification system identifies seven domains of patient care needs for nurse intervention: cognitive
status, self-care ability, emotional/social/spiritual well-being, family information needs/support status,
treatments and interventions, interdisciplinary coordination, and transitions. A scorecard is a tool to
display data on organizational priorities.
