Authors' objectives:
To explore, identify and show original risk adjustment models generated to describe, assess and compare
the effectiveness of health care services, and to detect heath services areas to priority targeting to develop risk adjustment models.
Authors' recommendations:
There is a significant increase in the development of risk adjustment models in recent years. The main limitation of this work has to do with the search strategy that allows for the identification of studies whose objective was the development of risk adjustment models. Some issues that could be raised to take into
account for the future development of models are: identify alternative outcome indicators outside mortality, in ambulatory care settings, built with a systemic view of health care services. To maximize the impact that risk adjustment models could provide they have to be applied in the context of comprehensive programs of health care quality assessment and improvement.
