Notes:
The HRG DOMINANT GROUPING VARIABLE-PROCEDURES was a field derived by the Healthcare Resource Group Acute Inpatient Grouper Version 3.5. It represented the procedure that the Healthcare Resource Group grouping algorithm identified as having the greatest effect upon the resources consumed by a PATIENT.

This concept was retired 31 March 2009 and therefore should not be reported to Secondary Uses Service via the Commissioning Data Sets.
