Diagnosis-Related Group Refinement with Diagnosis- and Procedure-Specific Comorbidities and Complications
Diagnosis-related groups have been revised through more refined uses of secondary diagnoses. Under the refined diagnosis-related groups, patients are distinguished with respect to classes of secondary diagnoses that are disease- and procedure-specific. Each class represents a different level of utilization for a given principal diagnosis or surgical procedure. The refined system was evaluated with national data from the Medicare program. Estimate…
Improving DRGs
Medicare's diagnosis related groups (DRGs) payment system has been criticized for not making adequate allowances for severity of illness differences within DRGs. The respiratory diseases major diagnostic category (MDC) has been a particular target; therefore, ability of several procedure codes that identify patients with assisted respiration (temporary tracheostomy, endotracheal intubation, and mechanical respiratory assistance) to identify high-…
Case Mix of Public Patients in Skilled Nursing Facilities in Connecticut
The case mix of publicly funded residents in 73 skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in two Connecticut counties was examined. Data collected in 1980-1981 for utilization review by a professional standards review organization were used for the analysis. The findings indicate that considerable variation exists in case mix across the SNFs. Medicaid per diem rates, which are based on historic costs, have a low and negative correlation with case mix. Ca…
Autogrp
AUTOGRP is an interactive computer system designed to facilitate rapid analysis of complex medical information. AUTOGRP allows the clinical or administrative expertise of the user to be combined with sophisticated computer techniques to permit rapid information retrieval, hypothesis testing, development of norms, and identification of deviant cases. This interaction yields results of a uniquely high statistical and medical quality. AUTOGRP has be…
A Decision Model for the Design and Operation of a Progressive Patient Care Hospital
The problem of determining the number of beds required in each type of service in a progressive hospital, subject to constraints of operating and investment costs and minimum service levels, is approached through computer simulation and mathematical programming. The simulation of the progressive patient care system is based on patient flow through the service zones in an operating hospital, but the program is capable of accommodating any other ho…
