What are Workload Measurement Systems (WMS) in Nursing?
Workload Measurement Systems (WMS) are methodologies utilized in the nursing field to objectively quantify the amount of work and resources needed for patient care. These systems aim to ensure that nursing staff are adequately allocated, improve efficiency, and maintain high-quality patient care. WMS can be based on various metrics such as patient acuity, time spent on tasks, and other care-related activities.
