severity adjustment  

Definición

  • A common problem with comparing performance among healthcare providers is how to adjust for differences in the disease severity of patients. For example, the mortality rate of patients in Hospital A may be higher than in Hospital B, but unfair and misleading conclusions may be drawn if patient characteristics in the two hospitals are not taken into consideration.
