Resumo: | <p>The objective of this study was to review, survey and analyze the construction of RUG's (Resource Utilization Groups) in use in various countries. It was found that since its creation in the U.S., several countries have tested this system of classification in the context of institutional care for the elderly. The system has proven to be valid and reliable with good results, explaining the variance of resources used especially for the institutions providing long-term health care and social support.<br> It was concluded that this classification system has considerable potential for its implementation in Portugal and in many Portuguese-speaking countries.<br> This system will help to understand the characteristics and true needs of its users by providing evidence-based information for the heads of institutions and policy makers alike. It will also further justify the allocation of resources as well as improve the strategic planning of institutions and quality of care.</p> |
