ACG (Adjusted Clinical Groups) System

The Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG) System is a healthcare tool used to categorize patients based on their health conditions and expected healthcare needs. It analyzes medical diagnoses and assigns individuals to groups that reflect their overall health risk. This helps healthcare providers and insurers understand the complexity of a patient’s health, plan appropriate care, and allocate resources efficiently. Essentially, ACG helps to identify who might need more intensive medical attention and ensures that healthcare services are tailored to each person's specific health profile, improving care quality and cost management.
