Assessment of the Utility of Episodes of Illness as a Tool for Ambulatory Resource Allocation within the United States Military Health Care System,
Abstract
This report represents an assessment of the utility of episodes of illness as a tool for ambulatory resource allocation within the Military Health Services System (MHSS) Episodes of illness were defined to represent sequential and temporally associated health care services for treatment of a specific illness. An episode could represent a single office visit for an acute condition, or multiple visits for a chronic condition. For the latter case, time periods must be predefined, e.g. one year. Resources can be allocated in terms of norms associated with a particular episode or in accordance with clinical standards.
