Refined French DRG with four severity levels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction In France, GHM (French DRGs) have been used to fund the acute hospital sector since 2005, with extra per day for outliers or intensive care units, and specific payments for educational tasks, research and general interest. However, at present fees differ between for-profit and non-profit hospitals. But the law requires that fees must converge by 2012, with a 50% reduction in the differences by the end of 2009. France has one of the highest percentages of forprofit hospital beds in Europe. These hospitals are often very specialized. Homogenization of GHM becomes, therefore, a crucial issue. For-profit and non-profit hospitals do not have the same rates and the same kinds of CC. The current version of the French DRG uses only two levels of GHM (with/without CC), and specific GHMs for major CC, as do AP-DRGs. Hence, ATIH decided to improve the way to take CC into account.

BACKGROUND The Italian National Health System was revised in the last 20 years, introducing new elements such as efficacy, efficiency and competitiveness. Devolution to regional authorities has created a quasi-market system where patients can choose the hospital in which to be treated. Patient mobility therefore becomes an indicator of perceived hospital quality and of financial flows between t...

In 1988, an ambitious and extensive project was undertaken in New Jersey to evaluate severity class adjustment of the all-payer prospective payment system. Another project objective was to evaluate alternative strategies for refining diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). The evaluation presented here includes a comparison of DRG refinement using Computerized Severity Index classes and Yale Universit...

BACKGROUND Patients hospitalized for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations carry a high risk for early rehospitalization. We wished to identify the basic clinical factors associated with a high risk of rehospitalization, and to see how well the standardized All Patient Refined Diagnosis Related Group (APR-DRG) severity of illness (SOI) subclassification predicted rehospital...
متن کاملRisk adjustment: beyond patient classification systems.
UNLABELLED Diagnosis related groups (DRGs) are widely used in several countries. Their various versions aim to value the cost of hospital production. In Europe, the patient classification systems and standard weights used are usually the American originals. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to analyse the extent to which DRGs and DRG-weights explain patient cost variability. Differen...
