Time Study RN | CAREGIVER TIME

How do caregivers spend their time?

Time Study RN is a time study tool that measures where caregivers spend their time and provides the dataset for evaluating the impact the built environment has on caregiver workload.

Time Study RN measures the percentage of time caregivers spend in work activities and summarizes the time spent in direct care, value added care, documentation, meds, non-value added, and over 70 other activities. The software also captures the percentage of time RN’s spend doing work that could be done by other resources.

This data is an indispensable resource in developing functional specifications for architects designing efficient caregiver workspaces and is compatible with Layout-iQ. Time Study RN has become the standard tool of choice for pre-implementation and post-implementation evaluation studies for new technology and changes to nursing practice and policy on caregiver workload.
