Part of The Casemix Companion
Stakeholder engagement
Casemix classification design is underpinned by a wealth of clinical input and development. The NCO is committed to an iterative process of stakeholder consultation. Each subchapter has at least one Expert Working Group (EWG) that advises on current and developmental classifications. Expert Reference Panels and Steering Groups provide a cross-chapter interface in areas such as rehabilitation and high cost drugs. These groups provide invaluable medical, financial and allied health professional guidance, all of which are essential in ensuring continued classification transparency, accuracy and credibility.
Casemix classifications are updated annually to ensure continued clinical relevance and design accuracy. The key role played by EWGs and other advisory bodies continues through on-going maintenance and development; by reviewing, and where necessary revising, design parameters; and by assessing HRG performance. The NCO gratefully acknowledges the support of the following organisations, whose representation through EWGs is central to ensuring clinical accuracy and reflection of current working practice.
