"Casemix" is an information tool--a set of patient care classifications and ideas about their use. It is useful only if it promotes understanding, and leads to better performance of the health system. Here we discuss some uses of casemix classifications, including payment of hospitals on a per case basis. Clinicians need to be concerned about both the design of casemix classifications themselves, and the ways in which they are used.
“病例组合”是一种信息工具——一组患者护理分类及其使用方法。只有当它促进理解并使卫生系统表现更佳时，它才有用。在此，我们讨论病例组合分类的一些用途，包括按病例向医院支付费用。临床医生既需要关注病例组合分类本身的设计，也需要关注其使用方式。
