Collection Methods
Hospital Based Corporate Information System (HBCIS):
ECCS is displayed for episodes grouped using Australian Refined Diagnosis Related Group (AR-DRG) version 8.0 and higher. For episodes grouped prior to AR-DRG 8.0, the ECCS displays as blank.
Comments
AR-DRG version 8.0 and version 9.0 is based on the Episode Clinical Complexity Score (ECCS). The primary element of the ECCS is the Diagnosis Complexity Level (DCL), which is a complexity weight estimating the relative cost of each diagnosis within a particular Adjacent DRG (ADRG). The ECCS is the measure of the cumulative effect of DCLs for a specific episode.
