Applicability of the adjusted morbidity groups algorithm for healthcare programming: results of a pilot study in Italy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Population-based Health Risk Assessment (HRA) tools are strategic for the implementation of integrated care. Various HRA algorithms have been developed in the last decades worldwide. Their full adoption being limited by technical, functional, and economical factors. This study aims to apply the Adjusted Morbidity Groups (AMG) algorithm in the context of an Italian Region, and evaluate its performance to support decision-making processes in healthcare programming.

Methods

The pilot study used five Healthcare Administrative Databases (HADs) covering the period 2015-2021. An iterative semi-automated procedure was developed to extract, filter, check and merge the data. A technical manual was developed to describe the process, designed to be standardized, reproducible
