We studied all admissions to the 11 acute care hospitals of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (April 1983-September 1984) matching emergency room (ER) admitted diagnostic related group (DRG) subgroups in each hospital with at least five non-ER admitted patients (N = 222,961). Mean cost per ER patient ($8,385) was greater than non-ER mean cost per patient ($4,386) for Medicare and non-Medicare. Our data suggest that public hospitals with a high proportion of ER admissions may be at a financial disadvantage under DRG reimbursement.
我们研究了纽约市卫生与医院公司11家急症护理医院(1983年4月 - 1984年9月)的所有入院病例,将每家医院急诊室(ER)收治的诊断相关分组(DRG)亚组与至少五名非急诊室收治患者进行匹配(N = 222,961)。对于医疗保险和非医疗保险患者,急诊室患者的平均费用(8385美元)高于非急诊室患者的平均费用(4386美元)。我们的数据表明,急诊入院比例高的公立医院在DRG报销制度下可能处于财务劣势。
