The Casemix Service is delivered by the Health and Social Care Information Centre.

The Casemix Service designs and refines classifications that are used by the English NHS to describe healthcare ACTIVITY. These classifications underpin Payment by Results from costing through to payment, and support local commissioning and performance management.

The Casemix Service enables the NHS to:

• support ACTIVITY costing: to inform the national tariff setting processes
• report PATIENT ACTIVITY information: to ensure that providers are paid for the SERVICES they deliver
• provide information: to support epidemiological studies and service planning.

This supporting information is also known by these names:
