  • Title: Relationship of direct nursing care hours to DRG and severity of illness.
    Author: Bostrom J, Mitchell M.
    Journal: Nurs Econ; 1991; 9(2):105-11. PubMed ID: 1902555.
    Abstract:
    Great variation in nursing resource use is documented within DRGs. Much of this variation may be explained by patient severity of illness. Variance in nursing resource use within DRGs can be reduced by using a severity of illness instrument to score patients.
