Severity of Illness and the Teaching Hospital.

Berman, Richard A.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v61 n1 p1-9 Jan 1986

The Medicare prospective payment system does not adequately account for severity of illness. Whether teaching hospitals treat a case mix of patients with more severe illness than do nonteaching hospitals was tested in a study using two severity measures, Horn's severity of illness index and Gonnnella's "disease staging."
