Diagnosis Related Groups and AR-DRGs - Introduction
Prof Ric Marshall OAMThe University of Sydney.
DRG Workshop Belgrade, 18-22.November 2013.
QUESTIONS• When asked to use DRGs people want to
know.– What are DRGs?– What are DRGs useful for?
• People wanting to use DRGs usually have some purpose in mind.– How can DRGs help us to … ?
• What people who use them want to know about how they work – their limitations.

Paying for health services based on activity rather than expenditure
The usual context:-
DRG Workshop Belgrade, 18-22.November 2013.
WHY DRG’S?
• IF USED EFFECTIVELY AS A FUNDING TOOL– DRG’s help to focus on hospital efficiency and
quality.– DRG’s help to contain growth in hospital costs.
• THE DRG IS JUST THE TOOL NOT THE POLICY

Hospital Inpatient Care
• Goals, incentives– efficient use of available resources such as
same day surgery– close integration with non-acute care settings
to support early discharge and effective post discharge care
– good health outcomes and minimisation of adverse events
– optimisation of patient convenience
• Episode focus – eg DRGs

In 1982, Congress mandated the use of a prospective payment system and in 1983 the Medicare program implemented a DRG-based payment system
Medicare Spending as a Percent of Total Health Expenditures, 1970–2001
Why Did USA Medicare Program Decide to Use DRGs for Payment?

Provider Payment Methods
• ITEMISED BILLING – “Fee for Service”
• BUNDLED BILLING – “Per episode”
• CAPITATION FUNDING – “Per patient”
• GLOBAL BUDGETS – “Historic plus”
DRG Workshop Belgrade, 18-22.November 2013.
Why diagnoses are more useful than procedures
• They allow clinical discretion
• The clinician is the resource manager
• Paying on procedures means more procedures results in more payment
• Best value for money (outcome) is more important than the lowest cost or the greatest quantity of treatment
DRG Workshop Belgrade, 18-22.November 2013.
The idea of resource homogenous categories
• Payment within groups should be related to the average or benchmark cost of providing the service.
• If cost is too variable: – some providers may select only the least
complex lowest cost cases. “cream skimming”– some providers may be at risk of getting the
most complex and expensive cases.– ANALYSIS OF DATA – BOTH PAYER AND HOSPITAL
DRG Workshop Belgrade, 18-22.November 2013.
The idea of clinically meaningful categories
• for describing healthcare services
• Classes must contain like with like cases from a clinical point of view – eg – Similar skills and facilities required to treat. – Similar care protocols used– Comparable in terms of outcome
expectations.

So, in summary, DRGs:-
• Describe the number and type of patients– The Mix of cases – limited number of categories
• Resource homogeneity, Clinically meaningful• Used:-
– As funding indicator or payment scale BUT ALSO– To compare how different hospitals treat patients in
different conditions– To identify treatment trends– In quality improvement activities– To identify the types of patients hospitals treat– For retrospective data analysis for research
