Class HIPPSThreshold

java.lang.Object

com.mmm.cms.homehealth.HIPPSThreshold

public class HIPPSThreshold
extends java.lang.Object

Holds the HIPPS threshold information in order to assign a value based on Episode timing and number of visits to support determining the HIPPS value. The Home Health specs contains a table that defines episode timing associated with the number of visits. This in turn relates to a grouping step and a scoring equation and is split into different Dimensions (Clinical and Functional) each with 3 severity levels. This class focuses on a single episode timing, grouping step and equation combination with its associated severity limits (usually only 3 of them)
