Without measuring and adjusting for severity of illness and risk of mortality of patient mix, your organization may not be accurately represented. This may lead to a damaged reputation, competitive disadvantage, and in some cases, lost opportunities for revenue.

To tackle this problem faced by healthcare providers, 3M developed a clinically-based measurement system to account for the necessary severity and risk adjustments. Since the inception of the 3M APR DRG Classification System in 1990, this methodology has become widely adopted for measuring hospital performance and outcomes by healthcare providers and health services researchers. State agencies have also adopted this methodology for reimbursement and public reporting.
