This is a report of a study which examined the impact of New Jersey's four-year experience with all-payer DRG's upon 82 hospital social work departments as these were reported by their directors. Although DRG's have made discharge planning, and thus social work, central to hospitals' financial health, departments have faced increased caseloads and some refocus of staff deployment, not always with compensatory increases in staff. Strategies to survive the cost-containment policies and other implications are noted.
这是一项研究报告,该研究考察了新泽西州实施全付费诊断相关分组(DRG)四年的经验对82个医院社会工作部门的影响,这些影响由各部门主管汇报。尽管DRG已使出院计划,进而使社会工作,成为医院财务健康的核心,但各部门面临着工作量增加以及员工部署的一些重新调整,而且员工人数并非总能得到相应增加。文中指出了应对成本控制政策及其他影响的策略。
