SUMMARY
Key words
Para ello, sin embargo, era necesario contar previamente con una serie
de instrumentos que garantizaran el último de los puntos comentados,
la calidad final del proceso.
DEFINICIONES
Aunque los criterios que pueden ser empleados para llevar a cabo la
clasificación de estos casos son muy variados, el objetivo final de
todos los sistemas de case-mix es la agrupación de pacientes que
requieren niveles similares de recursos humanos y/o materiales (30-
36).
CARACTERISTICAS
Los diversos autores que se han ocupado de este tema han establecido
las características que un sistema de clasificación debe cumplir para
que sea posible su aplicación práctica.
En primer lugar, los criterios que se utilicen para llevar a cabo las
agrupaciones de casos deben tener un significado clínico, de modo
que la base teórica sobre la que se asiente la clasificación sea
reconocible y aceptable por los profesionales. Igualmente, la recogida
de los datos de los que se derivan dichos criterios debe formar parte
del estilo de práctica habitual del tipo de servicio o institución para el
que se ha diseñado el sistema.
Significado clínico.
Reproductibilidad.
Máxima explicación de la varianza en el consumo de recursos.
Homogeneidad intragrupo.
Heterogeneidad intergrupo.
Factibilidad.
