About the AcuityPlus Pediatrics Methodology
Designed for Pediatrics Hospitals and Pediatric Care Settings
AcuityPlus by Harris OnPoint is excited to announce its new methodology, Pediatrics 1.0, designed specifically for children’s hospitals and pediatric units.
For more than 50 years, AcuityPlus has helped hospitals optimize nursing resources with its objective, standardized, and actionable acuity solution. Through conversations with clients and prospects, we identified a clear gap: tools built for adult populations often miss critical care needs unique to pediatrics hospitals and care settings. Our new Pediatrics Methodology was developed to close that gap.
As we finalize development, we invite you to learn more about AcuityPlus and its Pediatrics Methodology ahead of its release. Designed to reflect the unique demands of pediatric care, this methodology supports safe staffing assignments, improves outcomes, and provides a data-driven foundation to support both nurses and patients.
