Hmmm any reputable hospital should have one in place already.

agreed...we have one, it just does not seem to capture what we need. Do you have one?

I don't think that there is an acuity tool out there that truly captures what we do. We have had 3 in all the years I work and it never ceases to amaze me that a vent kid can get the same number as a feeder sometimes!

Especially when said feeder can't keep his/her mouth shut for >45 minutes and has HIGH maintanence parents. It's just never fair!
