    Journal: J Biocommun; 1985 May; 12(2):4-7. PubMed ID: 3928619.
    Abstract:
    Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) form the basis for a new means of reimbursing hospitals for services provided to Medicare patients. A brief outline of the DRG system and a partial description of constraints of the system are introduced. Ramifications of this new prospective payment system and implications for biomedical communicators are presented and discussed.
