A Classification System for Long-Staying Psychiatric Patients
Data on a sample of 890 Veteran's Administration long-staying psychiatric patients were studied to develop a classification system that explains actual daily resource use. Disturbed patients with lengths of stay of less than three years and those with psychotic conditions who are not withdrawn represent the two groups found to use significantly more resources in their daily care. The Long-Stay Psychiatric Patient Classification (LPPC) System, wit…

It is generally accepted that diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) for alcohol, drug, and mental disorders are inappropriate for inpatient prospective payment.

Length-of-Stay Variations Within Icda-8 Diagnosis-Related Groups
The number of bed days per inpatient episode, the length of stay (LOS), is a major indicator of hospital performance and a basic measure of patients' resource consumption. Hospital reimbursement on the basis of treated cases requires a system for accurately identifying case categories. Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) have been proposed for this purpose. An initial study to analyze variations in length of stay and resource consumption within DRGs …

This has currently been reinforced by procompetitive proposals, which predict great efficiency resulting from the envisaged comp…
