Report on the Feasibility of Three Data Bases as Sources for the Ambulatory Resource Analysis Project,
Abstract
The Resource Analysis and Management Systems (RAMS) office of DoD health Affairs is developing a strategy for resourcing decision support for ambulatory care. The strategy will be based upon an ambulatory care patient case-mix classification system. Such a system would have far reaching implications for the Military Health Care System, affecting the collection, reporting, and use of ambulatory care data. The assessment of case-mix classification systems will consider a number of issues, including how well the classification system: Encompasses the types of services provided; Accommodates case-mix; Reflects the use of ancillary care personnel; Reflects the actual levels of health resource use; and Reflects the unique properties of the military health care system. Ambulatory Case Mix; Ambulatory Resource Allocation; Ambulatory Classification; Ambulatory Decision Support; Uniform Services Treatment Facility (USTF) Case Mix; Episode of illness Ambulatory Visit Groups (AVGs); Ambulatory Patient Groups (APGs); Resource-13ased Relative Value Scale (RBRVS); Ambulatory Work Units (AWUs)
