Every year, the regions, hospitals and clinical societies may send in suggestions for adjustments to the grouping logic to The Danish Health Data Authority.
Information required in the grouping of patient records are diagnosis, procedures and patient information.
Several rules determines which group a patient record is assigned.
When grouping patient records, the following criteria has to be met:
- The grouping of patients must be clinically meaningful
- All groups must be resource homogeneous
- The number of groups should be limited
The Health Data Authority has developed two different tools that provide an insight into the grouping logic and the tariffs for the different groups.
Visual DRG is a graphical representation of the grouping logic.
