This paper presents a new approach to the classification of ambulatory care into isoresource consumption groups. In contrast to classification schemes based on visits, this case-mix approach creates an index based on resources used by diagnostic categories by a patient during a year. An application of this method to a primary care, group practice data base produced resource consumption groups with coefficients of variation in an acceptable range compared with the coefficients of variation of the diagnosis-related groups used to classify inpatient care.
本文提出了一种将门诊护理分类为同等资源消耗组的新方法。与基于就诊次数的分类方案不同，这种病例组合方法根据患者在一年中按诊断类别使用的资源创建一个指数。将该方法应用于一个初级保健团体实践数据库，所产生的资源消耗组的变异系数与用于对住院护理进行分类的诊断相关组的变异系数相比，处于可接受范围内。
