A Family of State-of-the-Art Patient Classification Products Catalyst provides powerful tools and processes designed to improve the precision of staffing-related decision making for all healthcare settings, including:
We are committed to elegant yet simple solutions that result in flexible, streamlined tools and processes that work with your organization’s existing staffing and productivity monitoring systems. Our approach is complementary, not redundant or duplicative. EVALISYS® Patient Classification System (PCS) For organizations that want a set of proven multidisciplinary workload measures that are valid, reliable, and easy to use, EVALISYS PCS is the optimal choice. Based on a more flexible “care interaction” model rather than a “summative task” methodology, these tools are based on a professional judgment approach, reflecting both the complexity and quantity of patient care. Staff, managers, and administrators all praise the system for its ease of use, cost-effectiveness, direct tie-in with staffing, budget relevance, and flexible format. With EVALISYS PCS, you get a clear view of the care patients actually require—so you can easily match real needs to real resources. EVALISYS PCS includes the development of PCS staffing matrices based on your organization’s own data. This popular methodology is fully compatible with automated staffing and scheduling systems such as ANSOS One-Staff®. “EVALISYS PCS is the fifth patient classification system I have used in my nursing career. It is, by far, the simplest and easiest tool to use, and it’s the only one that allows nurses to use their own professional judgment. Our staff nurses like this tool because it’s easy and they can see how it identifies the workload associated with the different patient care levels.”
EVALISYS® PCS Plus (PCS and Study) For organizations seeking the ultimate in data-driven decision making, EVALISYS PCS Plus includes an objective, non-obtrusive Study in addition to the patient classification system. This study process demonstrates the actual staff workload as well as how effectively staff are being utilized. The results of these observational studies have been used by successful organizations across the country to help with staffing-related decisions as well as for redesign and fine-tuning of staffing systems on an ongoing basis. EVALISYS PCS Plus is the ideal system for precision in care delivery design and staffing decisions. An EVALISYS PCS Plus study combines a valid, reliable PCS with objective workload and staff activity data. We also can train your in-house coordinator to replicate the Study process whenever and wherever you want, for any clinical discipline or service. With EVALISYS PCS Plus, you can keep your care delivery system running smoothly and effectively to meet ever-changing patient care needs.
The EVALISYS Study provides an accurate picture of staff activity patterns and workload on inpatient and outpatient units, no matter what patient classification system you use. The Study process can also be used to assess work activity for any clinical discipline in acute care, long-term care, and community-based settings. The Study process is fundamental to ongoing evaluation of all your clinical services. Organizations that have conducted an EVALISYS Patient Classification/Staff Activity Study have experienced an average 13:1 return on investment. If your organization is planning to redesign any clinical area, or if you wish to further refine your current care delivery system, the EVALISYS Study will help you determine whether you need to make changes related to:
“As a free-standing acute rehabilitation hospital, we needed to find an acuity tool that we could use across multiple disciplines, not just nursing. Catalyst Systems was the only company that offered such a system. We like the fact that the EVALISYS PCS is based on a professional judgment model and is not task-based. Our clinical staff are very satisfied with the tool’s ability to predict patient care needs and with their own ability to project flexible staffing levels that reflect those needs.”
