Background:

The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) initiated a project to develop a classification system for ambulatory care.
Existing payment systems required refinement for ambulatory settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To further develop an ambulatory patient classification system based on Ambulatory Visit Groups (AVGs).
To provide insights into the anticipated structure of an ambulatory care prospective payment system.

Main Methods:

A two-year grant project was supported by HCFA at Yale University.
The project focused on the conceptual framework and development of the Ambulatory Visit Groups (AVGs) system.

Main Results:

The foundational principles for an AVG-based ambulatory patient classification system were established.
