Abstract

This article, the fourth of the series, describes the GRASP instrument (Grace, Reynolds, Application and Study of PETO) and the TOSS instrument (Time Oriented Score System), which together with the NAS (Nursing Activities Score) to be presented in our next issue, are instruments based on direct measurements created to be applied at the Intensive Care Units.
The GRASP instrument is a nursing resource management system focusing on the needs of each patient that was created in response to a need to plan the nursing staff needed appropriately and, in this way, ensure the quality of care. The TOSS instruments is based on a measurement of the time nursing activities take in patients admitted into the ICU performed in the 24 hours before the actual recording, with subsequent calculation of patient/ratio time ratio.
