  • Title: Unanswered questions facing DRG's.
    Author: Pettingill BF, Westell HC.
    Journal: Hosp Top; 1984; 62(4):3-5. PubMed ID: 10310696.
    Abstract:
    When determining reimbursement rates for DRG's across regions, a number of cost components must be considered: size and sophistication of the hospitals, overhead costs, capital debt, staffing ratios, and patient mix. In addition, demographic data on hospital catchment populations, philosophy of treatment, severity of illness, and outcomes all must be weighed.
