IMPORTANCIA DEL SISTEMA GRD PARA ALCANZAR LA EFICIENCIA HOSPITALARIA

The classification of patients through the DRG system manages to solve the problems that exist in health institutions, whose final product is unique. Each patient attended has particular characteristics such as age, sex, main diagnosis, comorbidities, treatments and procedures performed, all of which make the variability unmanageable. Each of these described data can generate thousands of combinations. For this reason, in the need to solve this problem arises a system that manages to group, considering those similarities and transforming a large number of cases into related groups. By grouping it is possible to standardize processes to treat certain pathologies. By decreasing the clinical variability and knowing which are the cases that do not resemble the standard, it is possible to make the improvements that will bring saving of resources and greater efficiency. The clinician will say that their patients are more complex and the manager that should contain spending, DRG is the meeting point to measure a greater complexity associated with greater consumption of resources.
