Summary:* Achieving the quality outcomes mandated in healthcare is dependent on reliable, interoperable, and integrated data-based staffing systems that are driven by the patient needs. * Nurse staffing decisions are integral to value-based care. * The infrastructure needed to transition to a value-based nurse staffing model is described by documenting one institution's experience in selecting and implementing an interoperable, data-driven acuity-based staffing (ABS) in a regional integrated healthcare system. * Considerations include the rationale for implementing an integrated ABS, principles for selecting a suite of information technology tools that support the ABS model, principles for successful implementation and adoption of ABS, and expected outcomes from the new ABS model. * ABS staffing is a necessary step to support the transition to value-based health care through value-based staffing.
