The use of emergent status is believed to provide an easily auditable approach towards capturing patient acuity. Current case-mix methodologies in Ontario for the acute inpatient population make very limited patients (whether was admitted from emergency room). These tend be longer stay, and current resource utilization indicators are poor predictors patient-episode cost. average who facility room stays 3.5 days longer, costs $685 more 4 times likely die hospital than a not at that...
