Building a star alliance: Australian and German DRGs.
نویسنده
چکیده
In 2000, Germany selected the Australian DRG system as a base for a national standard German version (now called German DRGs, or simply G-DRGs). No serious consideration has been given thus far to major changes in the classification, because there are many practical issues that must be addressed within a short time-scale, given the German federal government’s requirement that per case payment by DRG be implemented over a transition period from January 2003.

Challenges Facing Global Health Networks: The NCD Alliance Experience; Comment on “Four Challenges that Global Health Networks Face”
Successful prevention and control of the epidemic of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) cannot be achieved by the health sector alone: a wide range of organisations from multiple sectors and across government must also be involved. This requires a new, inclusive approach to advocacy and to coordinating, convening and catalysing action across civil society, best achieved by a broad-based network. T...
متن کاملThe performance of Australian DRGs.
This paper reports the results of an evaluation study of the Australian National Diagnosis Related Groups (AN-DRGs). The evaluation was based on statistical rather than clinical criteria with the principal goal being to provide information for the future development of the classification system. As well as comparing versions 1.0 to 3.0 of AN-DRGs, the project included a comparison of these syst...
متن کاملThe Australian DRG classification: are we ready for structural changes?
The Australian DRG variant (Australian National DRGs from versions 1 to 3, and Australian Refined DRGs thereafter) compares favourably with other variants in use around the world. This view is supported by a variety of empirical studies (see for example Reid, Palmer & Aisbett 2000) and by experiences of its adoption by several health care systems. An example is its recent selection for use in G...
متن کاملCapital investment in public hospitals.
Capital investment is a major concern for public hospitals. Relative to operating expenditures, it has been almost constant for 40 years, despite great changes in technology and patient throughputs. Research studies during the last decade suggest that over that time almost all investment has been on simply replacing existing assets. Per person, the total capital stock has actually declined. How...
متن کاملChandra Constraints on the Agn Fraction and Star Formation Rate of Red Z ∼ 2 Galaxies in the Fires Ms 1054–03 Field
Very deep near-infrared observations in the Faint InfraRed Extragalactic Survey (FIRES) have recently uncovered a significant population of red galaxies at redshifts z > 2. These distant red galaxies (DRGs) are efficiently selected by the criterion Js−Ks > 2.3. We use Chandra data to examine the X-ray emission from DRGs in the 5×5 FIRES MS 1054–03 field. Two of 40 DRGs with Ks < 22 are detected...
