This study aimed to develop a casemix classification of characteristics of New Zealand mental health services users. Over a six month period, patient information, staff time and service costs were collected from 8 district health boards. This information was analysed seeking the classification of service user characteristics which best predicted the cost drivers of the services provided. A classification emerged which explained more than two thirds of the variance in service user costs. It can be used to inform service management and funding, but it is premature to have it determine funding.
本研究旨在开发一种针对新西兰心理健康服务使用者特征的病例组合分类方法。在六个月的时间里，从8个地区卫生委员会收集了患者信息、工作人员时间和服务成本。对这些信息进行分析，以寻求对服务使用者特征进行分类，从而最好地预测所提供服务的成本驱动因素。出现了一种分类方法，该方法解释了服务使用者成本中超过三分之二的差异。它可用于为服务管理和资金提供信息，但让其决定资金还为时过早。
