AVGs: framework for ambulatory care payment
J Am Med Rec Assoc.
1986 Feb.
Abstract
In preparation for an ambulatory care prospective payment system, the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), Office of Research and Demonstration, supported a two-year grant project at Yale University for further development of an ambulatory patient classification system based on Ambulatory Visit Groups (AVGs). This article explains the premises of the study and gives us insight into what we may ultimately expect in an ambulatory care prospective payment system.
