A code which signifies the patient's classification in the hospitals case mix, derived from the ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes for principal and secondary diagnoses, procedures performed, age, sex and discharge status.
Institutional health care: The development of Australian National DRGs has created a descriptive framework for studying hospitalisation. DRGs provide a summary of the varied reasons for hospitalisation and the complexity of cases a hospital treats. Moreover, as a framework for describing the products of a hospital (that is, patients receiving services), they allow meaningful comparisons of hospitals' efficiency and effectiveness under alternative systems of health care provision.
