Casemix
Casemix provides the health care industry with a consistent method of classifying types of patients, their treatment and associated costs. It includes developing and implementing casemix classifications, tools and services.
On 16-19 November 2008, the Department of Health and Ageing will host the Casemix Conference 2008. The theme is 'The Casemix Evolution: extending the boundaries'. The conference will view casemix in the holistic manner, across acute, sub-acute and non-acute sectors, including:
- Its place in broader health reforms
- International approaches;
- Workforce issues; and
- Sustainability of our current approach to casemix.
