  • Title: [Are diagnostic codes in accordance with the SGB V regulation and classification of case fees and special charges a suitable instrument for controlling costs in surgery?].
    Author: Ziegler M.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1997; 114():785-7. PubMed ID: 9574268.
    Abstract:
    The German health care system lacks transparency of efficiency and costs. Fixed compensations for common diagnoses and treatments were established to lower spending and to get better statistics of diagnoses and treatments. It could be demonstrated that the expenses are too high while the benefit is too small.
