  • Title: DRGs, variable pricing, and budgeting for nursing services.
    Author: Vanderzee H, Glusko G.
    Journal: J Nurs Adm; 1984 May; 14(5):11-4. PubMed ID: 6425466.
    Abstract:
    This article focuses on the cost impact of patient acuity on DRGs. The traditional method of routine charges for nursing services is compared with the development of a variable charge structure based on patient classification. Examples of each method are given. The authors also analyze a charge structure based upon patient care requirements and apply the budgeting process to the cost determination of nursing services.
