Associate Professor, Program in Health Care Management and Department of Operations Management, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA The Evolution of Hospital Utilization Review Methods in the United States [Elektronische Daten] [JOSEPH D. RESTUCCIA] The purpose of this paper is to provide a description of utilization review (UR) methods that have been used in the United States and the direction UR is likely to take in the future. In contrast to the European studies reported in this issue, which consist primarily of empirical studies quantifying the magnitude of inappropriate hospital utilization, the focus of this paper is on the methods used to perform UR operationally. Particular attention will be paid to the predominant form of UR employed in the United States, concurrent review of the need for a hospital level of care, and on the criteria used to assess appropriateness of hospital admissions and days. © 1995 Elsevier Science Ltd APPROPRIATENESS OF HOSPITAL USE: THE EUROPEAN BIOMED PROJECT nationallicence Utilization review nationallicence utilization management nationallicence appropriateness of hospital utilization nationallicence appro-priateness criteria nationallicence International Journal for Quality in Health Care Oxford University Press 7/3(1995-09), 253-260 1353-4505 7:3<253 1995 7 intqhc https://doi.org/10.1093/intqhc/7.3.253 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 other jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/intqhc/7.3.253 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- RESTUCCIA JOSEPH D.
