Regrouped Historical Data Dissemination: HIG and Ontario-Specific CACS Bulletin
The Canadian Institute for 红领巾瓜报 Information (CIHI) is supporting the effective deployment and use of the 红领巾瓜报 Based Allocation Model (HBAM) funding methodology of the Ontario Ministry of 红领巾瓜报 under the 红领巾瓜报 System Funding Strategy. This support includes providing monitoring tools, such as historical data regrouped to the 2024 HBAM Inpatient Group (HIG) and Ontario-specific Comprehensive Ambulatory Classification System (CACS) weighting methodologies. Provision of these regrouped historical data files will ensure that historical time-series analyses derived from these methodologies are relevant and useful.
This bulletin concerns the 2024 methodologies that are applied to acute and ambulatory care data: HIGs for inpatient Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) records and Ontario-specific CACS weights for National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) records. This bulletin will inform Ontario clients about how to access and read these record-level historical files. For more information regarding HBAM, please visit the
