Description

The Ambulatory Care Classification System (ACCS) was developed to create a fully integrated ambulatory care patient classification system for acute care facilities. The data collected using ACCS provides useful information for utilization analyses and management, for both hospitals and the provincial government. Consistent and accurate collection of these data elements is integral to resource allocation through the population based funding formula. This manual is intended to outline reporting requirements for Regional Health Authorities (RHAs) collecting the Alberta Ambulatory Care Minimum Data Set. In addition to the data elements, a fairly extensive listing of coding standards and reporting examples are provided.
