DAD Resource Intensity Weights and Expected Length of Stay  Core

The DAD Resource Intensity Weights and Expected Length of Stay document provides an explanation of the ELOS calculation and the RIW calculation for typical and atypical acute care inpatient cases. Included in this documentation are tables containing the base ELOS, Trim Points and RIW value for each CMG and age group combination.

In addition to the base set of values, the effect of the five CMG+ factors (age, comorbidity level, flagged interventions, intervention events and out-of-hospital (OOH) interventions) are reviewed along with a discussion of the activity and cost data sources used for the production of the ELOS and RIW.

Resource Intensity Weight (RIW) and Expected Length of Stay (ELOS) values from 2022 Case Mix Group+ (CMG+) will be held constant to allow more time to evaluate and adjust for changes to hospital activity and costs during the pandemic. To this end, the information in the 2022 release remains the most up-to-date information.

FAQ

The price you pay for an item depends on the type of organization to which you belong. Until you sign in, we do not know which price applies to you.

No. Regardless of the language in which the publication itself is available, the series screen provides a general description of the publications in that series and, for each edition, gives you the option of choosing the language and the media type (for example, paper or PDF) of the publication that you want. CIHI often publishes reports in both English and French, though there is sometimes a delay between the publication of the English version and the availablility of the French version. The series information will always be available in both English and French, even if the report itself is only available in one language.

If you want the downloadable version of an available publication and the price is free, as is often the case, you can simply download the file (usually a PDF) by clicking the Download link. If your browser does not support PDFs and you do not have a PDF viewer, you can download Adobe Acrobat Reader free of charge at Adobe.com. If the publication is not available in a downloadable media type or the price is not free, you will have to add it to your cart so that you can order it. You must be signed in before adding an item to your cart, so if you have not already done so, you will be redirected to the sign in screen.

If you wish to get more information about a publication before deciding to add it to your cart, click the View link under the Details column for the version of the publication that interests you. This will give you more detailed information about that particular publication.

The History link only appears on the top menu bar once you have signed in. To sign in, enter your username and password in the top-right corner of your screen.
