These are the Clinical Factors that are a component of the Patient Recovery Factors.
Clinical Conditions
Clinical Conditions are elements of the clinical factors in patient recovery. Medicare has developed a model to categorize the clinical conditions factors in order to risk risk adjust health insurers that are covering patients. The CMS-HCC Risk Adjustments model adjust for patient demographics (i.e., age, disabled) and disease (i.e., diabetes, congested heart failure).
