The generalization of the results must be carefully construed. ACG's show themselves to be a suitable tool, and the mean U.S. RW's could be used for adjusting capitated payment risk adjustments in view of the difficulty of availing of full, consistent databases in our environment. Further research would be required to back up the consistency of the results.
Those individuals whose arterial hypertension was poorly controlled displayed a greater burden of morbidity and a similar healthcare cost in comparison to those under good control.
Background: The main objective of this study is to measure the relationship between morbidity, direct health care costs and the degree of clinical effectiveness (resolution) of health centres and health professionals by the retrospective application of Adjusted Clinical Groups in a Spanish population setting. The secondary objectives are to determine the factors determining inadequate correlations and the opinion of health professionals on these instruments.
TB is associated, as therapy complementing routine treatment, with the presence of Diabetes, and with the severity of the disease. The costs of COPD entail high resource consumption. The prescription of TB does not imply greater overall cost of the disease.
Both organisations presented enabling and hindering factors for clinical coordination which would need changes in internal and external components in order to improve overall efficiency and health care continuity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
