The Adjusted Morbidity Groups (GMA) is a new morbidity measurement developed and adapted to the Spanish healthcare System. It enables the population to be classified into 6 morbidity groups, and in turn divided into 5 levels of complexity, along with one healthy population group. Consequently, the population is divided into 31 mutually exclusive categories. ⋯ It can be used to stratify the population and to identify target populations. It has good explanatory and predictive results in the use of health resources indicators. The Spanish Ministry of Health is promoting the introduction of the GMA into the National Health System.
