  • Title: Ambulatory care patient classification.
    Author: Hoffman F, Wakefield DS.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 1986 Apr; 16(4):23-30. PubMed ID: 3083055.
    Abstract:
    Efficient, cost-effective use of resources is important in every aspect of health care. As ambulatory care continues to grow, it becomes an increasingly important area for managerial attention. Few tools which are specific to the outpatient environment have been developed. This paper has suggested an approach to developing a specific instrument to assist in controlling costs in the ambulatory unit: the ambulatory patient classification system.
