Does anyone use an acuity tool in their hospital work to try to figure 
out (justify) how many hours we should be spending doing lactation on 
any given day?  I searched the archives and found nothing, unless 
there's another name for this.  Our two-hospital system is trying to 
figure out how we can help our sister LC down the road if one of us has 
a heavier census than the other.  They use an acuity tool to justify how 
many nurses they need on the floor and think that one should work for 
us, too.  I will withhold my comments from public view.
