1984年至2000年间，医疗保健费用可能增加六倍（从3220亿美元增加到1.9万亿美元），这给美国人带来了危机（Tyson Merrill, 1984）。联邦政府实施了一项成本控制策略，即前瞻性支付系统（PPSs），以促进住院资源的有效利用。虽然最初仅针对医疗保险患者，但向其他第三方支付者颁布PPS已将其影响扩大到几乎所有患者。PPS的支持者认识到，为了确保提供高质量的护理，门诊环境将变得非常重要。重要的是，为了在不影响所提供护理质量的情况下合理分配资源，确定重症将是有用的
SCALATING health care costs, which may increase sixfold ($322 billionto $1.9 trillion) between 1984 and2000 (Tyson 8 Merrill, 1984), pose a crisis for Americans. One cost-contain-ment strategy, prospective payment systems (PPSs), was implemented by the federal govern-ment to promote efficient utilization of inpatient resources. Although originally targeting only Medicare patients, the promulgation of PPS to other third-party payers has broadened its im-pact to virtually all patients. Proponents of PPS recognized that to ensure that high quality of care be delivered, the ambulatory setting would take on heightenedimportance. lmportantly, to allocate resources rationally without compromising the quality of care that is delivered, it would be useful to identify heavy
