To evaluate the usefulness of Casemix as a data collection system for consultation-liaison psychiatry services.
Health information staff were requested to code psychiatric assessments and diagnosis prospectively for admissions to the Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, between July 2002 and June 2004 using Casemix.
Psychiatric assessments were requested on 2.5% of all hospital admissions (n = 2575). Casemix provided extensive demographic and hospital unit data for referred patients, is easy to set up, and is cost-free for the psychiatry service.
Casemix can provide extensive meaningful data for consultation-liaison psychiatry services that could assist in the argument for greater funding of these services.
评估病例组合作为会诊联络精神病学服务数据收集系统的实用性。
要求健康信息工作人员使用病例组合对2002年7月至2004年6月期间墨尔本阿尔弗雷德医院收治的患者进行前瞻性的精神病学评估和诊断编码。
所有住院患者中有2.5%(n = 2575)被要求进行精神病学评估。病例组合为转诊患者提供了广泛的人口统计学和医院科室数据,易于设置,且对精神科服务免费。
病例组合可为会诊联络精神病学服务提供大量有意义的数据,有助于为这些服务争取更多资金的论证。
