After many discussions about the value of a collaborative association, including meetings in Paris in 1984 and Dublin in 1986, Patient Classifications Systems/Europe (PCSE) was founded in 1987 in Lisbon. The organisation created a network of researchers and users of the case mix concept from health administration, government agencies, and academia. From an initial focus on the DRGs, the association’s goals have expanded to include a broader interest in clustering and grouping techniques of clinical and administrative data for health care management and financing. The association has stimulated the use and refinement of the science of "grouping patients" within different levels of the health system.Newsletter No.4 2008
