This study developed a classification system for long-stay psychiatric patients to understand daily resource use. Two patient groups, disturbed and psychotic non-withdrawn, were found to use significantly more resources.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Psychiatric Care Management
  • Healthcare Resource Utilization

Background:

  • Long-stay psychiatric patients represent a significant population within healthcare systems.
  • Understanding daily resource use is crucial for efficient patient management and cost control.
  • Existing classification systems may not adequately capture the nuances of resource utilization in this demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a classification system for long-stay psychiatric patients.
  • To identify patient characteristics associated with higher daily resource consumption.
  • To enable accurate case-mix adjustment for psychiatric care payments.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from 890 Veteran's Administration long-staying psychiatric patients.

  • Development of the Long-Stay Psychiatric Patient Classification (LPPC) System.
  • Statistical analysis to determine factors influencing per diem resource use.

    • Main Results:

    • Two patient groups identified as high resource users: disturbed patients (stay < 3 years) and psychotic, non-withdrawn patients.
    • The LPPC System, comprising six categories, explains 11.4% of the variability in per diem resource use.
    • The classification system demonstrates potential for improving payment accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • The LPPC System provides a framework for classifying long-stay psychiatric patients based on resource needs.
    • Identifying high-utilizing patient subgroups can inform targeted interventions and resource allocation.
    • The system offers a tool for equitable case-mix adjustment in psychiatric healthcare payments.
