ACG (Adjusted Clinical Groups)

Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG) is a method used to categorize patients based on their health conditions and healthcare needs. It analyzes medical claims data to group individuals with similar diagnoses and treatment patterns, helping to predict healthcare utilization and costs. This approach allows healthcare providers and insurers to better understand patient populations, manage resources effectively, and improve care. By identifying patients with similar health profiles, ACG supports more personalized care strategies and enhances public health planning by revealing trends in health conditions within a community or population.
