Using existing case-mix methodologies to fund trauma cases

چکیده
Currently, trauma funding in Ontario is based on a flat rate per case. However, the distribution of the measures of resource utilization, such as average length of stay, hours in intensive care, and resource intensity weights in Ontario Lead Trauma Hospitals, suggests that facilities differ in patient case mix. For instance, average hours in intensive care ranged from 62 to 153 across facilities, average resource intensity weight varied from 3.2 to 4.7, and average length of stay ranged from 11 to 18 days.
