Acuity levels are generally classified into three categories:
Low Acuity: Patients require minimal care, usually routine monitoring, and basic assistance. Examples include patients with stable chronic conditions. Moderate Acuity: Patients need more frequent monitoring and interventions. Examples include post-surgical patients or those with acute but stable conditions. High Acuity: Patients require intensive care, continuous monitoring, and specialized interventions. Examples include those in the ICU or with severe, unstable conditions.
