Objective of this work

Objectives – short term

Objectives – long term

Draft principles - WHO set of casemix groupers

Draft principles - WHO set of casemix groupers

Draft principles - WHO set of casemix groupers

Next Steps The Family Development Committee intends to consider further: identification of sources of information to generate the grouper whether the work would lead to a grouper specification or an actual software implementation the importance of testing the hypothesis that casemix classifications will be better with use of ICD-11 and ICF.
