A demand management system is a better predictor of staff than patient classification systems. The demand management system focuses on:
1. Immediate client needs.
2. Historical data of expected client outcomes.
3. Allocation of staff throughout the organization.
4. Nursing care hours.
2
Explanation: 1. Demand management utilizes historical data to determine client outcomes and nursing hours
needed to meet these outcomes. Patient classification systems focus on client needs. Allocation
of nursing staff throughout the organization does not assist the manager in planning for future
staffing needs. Nursing care hours do not apply to predicting staffing needs.
