N2 - A case-mix information system for the emergency department (ED) is described which has been found to satisfy two goals: (1) the creation of a database linking diagnosis to resource use and time for the study of a case-mix classification system for the ED; and (2) the generation of case-mix-oriented reports to allow the development and evaluation of measures to improve the cost-effectiveness of emergency department care. To create the database, a data set was collected at each visit to the ED, consisting of the following fields: date, time in, time out, patient unit number, sex, DOB, payer, zip code, room charge (visit type), triage RN, geographic RN, MD(s), consulting MD, triage time, RN time, MD time, triage (as a proxy for severity), primary and secondary diagnosis, disposition, inpatient unit (if admitted), and use of procedures, ancillaries, and supplies. Each visit generated a detailed encounter form, in addition to physician and nursing notes. Data were abstracted from this paper record and entered into the database.
