Defining Attributes
Definition
The Resource Use Index (RUI) is a risk adjusted measure of the frequency and intensity of services utilised to manage a provider group's patients. Resource use includes all resources associated with treating members including professional, facility inpatient and outpatient, pharmacy, lab, radiology, ancillary and behavioural health services.
A Resource Use Index when viewed together with the Total Cost of Care measure (NQF-endorsed #1604) provides a more complete picture of population based drivers of health care costs.
