Each profile includes a listing of report citations for that program, and all the reports are indexed under major subject headings. Also included is a cross-listing of technology assessment report citations arranged by type of technology headings, brief descriptions of approximately 70 information sources of potential interest to technology assessors, and addresses and descriptions of 70 organizations with memberships, activities, publications, and other functions relevant to the medical technology assessment community.

Case Mix
The case mix concept has been introduced in the USA more than twenty years ago in order to measure hospital productivity and to promote quality of care. The DRGs were selected by HCFA in 1983 as the case mix classification system for the MEDICARE prospective payment system (PPS). Many other countries have adopted the case mix concept after long periods of testing and accepting, but with large variations in data collection, information standards, grouping tools, financing methods and quality of care developments all over the world. Each country has developed a local clinical and political culture about case mix tools. The present book is intended to update the case mix situation, country by country.
