DOI: 10.1002/hec.4686
Abstract: Diagnosis-related group (DRG) hospital reimbursement systems differentiate cases into cost-homogenous groups based on patient characteristics. However, exogenous organizational and regional factors can influence hospital costs beyond case-mix differences. Therefore, most countries using DRG systems incorporate… read more here.
