    Introduction: Work complexity classification helps nurses to identify the patients' needs for nursing interventions and thereby enable quality, well-planned and continuous care. It contributes to ... better organisation and strategic workforce planning along with acknowledgement and validation of nursingćs contribution to patient care. Work complexity classification also helps to define the scope of the workload and the necessary nursing workforce.In Slovenia, the task taxonomy in the work complexity classificationis practiced predominantly in hospital settings and only to a lesser extent in primary health care. Methods: The study is based on the categorization system as practiced in the primary health care in Maribor. The system criteria were supplemented by specific needs of oncology patients treated in specialist outparient clinics. The descriptive research method was used in the sample of 50 oncology patients. Included in the second part of thestudy were 150 oncology patients treated in various specialist outpatient clinics of the Institute of Oncology, from 6 to 24 August, 2007. A case study was developed with the aim to evaluate the outcomes and effects of the Work complexity classification. Results and discussion: Individual criteria of the Maribor classification system were clearly defined during the study by taking into consideration the specificity of oncology patients. According to the quantitative comparison among individual outpatient clinics, 84 (56%) patientswere classified into the first category, 56 (37%) into the second and 10 (7%) into the third. During the time of theresearch none of the patients studied was classified into the fourth category. The results of the study confirm the applicability of the present Maribor classification system.
