Article Abstract
The provision of single rooms for the care of patients who require isolation may not match the number required. Placing patients in isolation facilities may have an effect on their psychological wellbeing and the quality of care delivered. To ensure a rational and consistent approach to the prioritization of single room usage, an existing prioritization system was revised. This was validated by a group of experts and tested in an acute hospital. A simple short cut guide was developed and used.
