A case-mix classification system for long-term care facilities.
The resident assessment and associated classification model inherent in any case-mix classification system are particularly germane to nursing. Resource Utilization Groups-Version III (RUG-III) illustrates how a case-mix classification system for long-term care nursing facilities is designed and constructed. Understanding the RUG-III classification system can assist nurses in evaluating other classification systems that may be adopted by Medicaid programs. Nurses provide a crucial perspective in forming and informing healthcare policy associated with nursing home payment and quality.
