A Medical Classification System for Ambulatory-care Manpower Planning
AUTOR(ES)
Schneider, Donald P.
RESUMO
The Trilevel Classification System described adapts the useful features of existing classification systems for convenient use in health manpower analysis. A computer program links the Kaiser Clinical-Behavioral Classification system, oriented to the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of patient populations using ambulatory-care services, with the Geomet Specifications of Care, which in turn utilizes ICDA-coded records and Current Procedural Terminology—coded elements of care. An extensive case study is discussed in which the system is used in an HMO to predict the differential effects of various delegation policies for physician assistants.
