A universal language to quantify operational constraints
ERAM is a universal language to quantify operational constraints. It does not replace clinical judgment.
ERAM does not constitute a staffing mandate, staffing grid, or staffing policy. Staffing remains the responsibility of nursing leadership.
ERAM is not a tracking board and does not replace or amend the electronic health record.
ERAM supports analysis and decision-making by identifying real-time or modeled operational constraints. Outputs represent estimates based on current inputs and assumptions and may not reflect all clinical or operational factors.
