"Identifying Information: Name","Average Acute Care Resource Use Intensity"
"Background, Interpretation and Benchmarks: Rationale","This measure provides the average relative cost weight for a single inpatient hospital stay. It is largely related to the types of cases that make up the hospital’s patient population and to the kinds of services provided by the hospital.Patient age, number of comorbidities and various interventions are all factors that affect the relative cost weight.This measure may help hospital administrators understand how the relative cost weight of their patients compares with that of other hospitals. "
"Background, Interpretation and Benchmarks: Interpretation","The average relative cost weight value derived from patient-specific case-cost dataThis measure is one component of a hospital’s profile. There are no desirable results for this measure."
