An analysis of patient records in four different DRG categories estimated direct nursing care requirements. The evaluation of these results showed a great range in direct hours of nursing care, as well as resultant cost of nursing care within and among the DRG categories. Nursing resource use is widely fluctuating based on acuity levels, length of stay, and DRG category. Thus, it was concluded the variables inherent in a model to predict cost rely on determinants of the functional needs of the individual patient.
对四个不同疾病诊断相关分组(DRG)类别的患者记录进行分析,以估计直接护理需求。对这些结果的评估显示,DRG类别内部和之间的直接护理时长以及护理成本差异很大。护理资源的使用因病情严重程度、住院时间和DRG类别而有很大波动。因此,得出的结论是,预测成本模型中固有的变量依赖于个体患者功能需求的决定因素。
