  • Severity of Illness Index and the Adverse Patient Occurrence Index

    Dale N Schumacher, Barbara Parker et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1987

    Seven hundred fifty-two randomly selected charts from seven teaching hospitals were rated by pairs of medical record analysts. The Severity of Illness Index was unreliable with an interrater-agreement rate of 73% (kappa statistic = 0.41), and demonstrated a significant (P less than 0.0001) association with the Adverse Patient Occurrence (APO) Index. This suggests that the Severity of Illness Index is not differentiating severity of illness from q…

  • Comparing Classification Methods

    Susan D Horn, Dale N SchumacherARTICLEMedical Care1982

    We define and examine three alternative systems for categorizing hospital patients. The first system is based on discharge abstract data alone; the second system is based on discharge abstract data that has been reabstracted from charts for completeness and accuracy; the third system is based on a severity-of-illness index within a diagnostic group. Using acute myocardial infarction patients as an illustrative example, we examine the homogeneity …

  • An Analysis of Case Mix Complexity Using Information Theory and Diagnostic Related Grouping

    Susan D Horn, Dale N SchumacherARTICLEMedical Care1979

    Case mix complexity measurements are essential to determine health care efficiency and effectiveness. Measures of patient care processes and outcomes must be adjusted for case mix before valid comparisons can be made. Hospital reimbursement, particularly prospective reimbursement, must take into account differences in case mix. In addition, a key variable for hospital classification is case mix. There are, however, no widely accepted easily compu…

  • Hospital Cost Per Case

    Dale N Schumacher, Susan D Horn et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1979

    In this paper, we establish relationships between hospital cost per case and the independent variables; case mix complexity, case mix severity, factor input prices, and hospital characteristics. Two hundred and sixteen thousand discharges from Maryland's acute general hospitals are grouped into 383 Diagnostic Related Groups which are used to compute an information theoretic measure of case mix complexity. Multiple linear regression equations are …

  • The battered wife syndrome and violence in the nuclear family of origin

    Brandon Parker, Dale N SchumacherARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1977Citada por: 8Referências: 4

    Dust is everywhere. Sometimes it's harmless, but sometimes it needs to be removed. Especially in modern optical machinery, dust control can be of vital importance. In this research we look at dust on a surface. We focus on the behaviour under influence of a plasma. The dust particles will stick to a surface due to the adhesive Van der Waals force. This force is hard to determine theoretically, as it highly depends on the local surface topology. T…
