Study Design and Methods : Antepartum and NICU acuity tools were developed to better evaluate nurse staffing assigments equity and patient needs. Following several iterations with staff nurses and nurse leaders, content validity of acuity tools was established via panel of experts in each substantive area using the content validity index. The final tools were then evaluated for interrater reliability using interclass correlation. Result : Content validity for the antepartum acuity tool was S-CVI/Ave=.87 and for the NICU Acuity was S-CVI/Ave=0.98 interrater reliability for the anteoartum acuity tool was ICC=0.88, and the NICU acuity tool was ICC=0.95 Clinical Implications : These tools have established content validity and interrater reliability and are appropriate for use in the antepartum and NICU settings to determine patient acuity and promote appropriate nurse-to-patient assignment
