“…Our readmission rate during the 90-day follow-up was 12.8%. Our incidence was closer to the UK readmission rate, which varies from 8 to 23% (5,19). The relatively low readmission incidence observed in our study may be due to the Multidimensional Geriatric Assessment performed during hospitalization.…”

“…Les systemes americains ont utilise des temps de soins fournis en temps reel evalues par le recueil des activites sur une periode de 24 heures. Ces temps prennent alors en compte l'effet des variations occasionnees par d'autres facteurs que les besoins de la personne comme l'efficience, la qualite des soins, la disponibilite des ressources humaines, les competences du personnel, les pratiques de travail ou la configuration des lieux physiques (Turner et al, 1995). Quoique ces elements soient pertinents dans le developpement d'un systeme equitable, les groupes doivent etre formes pour expliquer l'utilisation des ressources sans egard a ces facteurs.…”

For the past 10 years, in long-term care systems, we have witnessed the accelerated deployment of casemix management systems. A casemix is formed by clusters, defined by individual characteristics that explain similar resource use. However, certain questions regarding the development of these systems must be raised. Moreover, none of these systems was developed in the context of an integrated care organization that can track the progress of a dependent elderly person through every kind of care arrangement available—from own home, through intermediate facility, to long-term care institution. This article emphasizes the necessity of being well informed about the features of existing systems, in order to choose or develop the system that best answers the goals of a particular health care system. Finally, it underlines important elements that should be considered in each step of the development of a casemix system in this context.
