Service LineService Line Broad categories of care based on 3M's All Patient Refined-Diagnosis Related Groups (APR-DRGs).	Inlier CasesInlier Cases The number of hospital inpatient cases that were within the pre-set range for the particular service line. Inlier cases were used to calculate length of stay and total charge values. Inlier cases do not include hospice patients. VHI removed those patients who had length of stays equal to 0 days or less or patients who had 0 dollar ($) charges or less.	Outlier CasesOutlier Cases The number of hospital inpatient cases in a calendar year that were outside the pre-set range for the particular service line. Outlier cases do not include hospice patients. VHI removed those patients who had length of stays equal to 0 days or less or patients who had 0 dollar ($) charges or less.	% of Hospital Total% of Hospital Total The number of cases for that hospital's particular service line divided by the total number of hospital cases multiplied by 100.	% of Regional Total% of Regional Total The number of cases for that hospital's particular service line divided by the total number of that service line's cases in that specified region multiplied by 100.
