Diagnosis Related Groups were established to reduce excess waste in the healthcare system. These classification systems provide standardized and scalable approaches to measuring severity of illness, assessment of treatment difficulty, and resource intensity. In this commentary, we discuss how the current DRG models in pediatrics—and for congenital heart surgery in particular—are not constructed to optimize quality.
诊断相关分组的建立是为了减少医疗系统中的过度浪费。这些分类系统提供了标准化且可扩展的方法来衡量疾病的严重程度、评估治疗难度以及资源强度。在这篇评论中,我们讨论了当前儿科的诊断相关分组模型——尤其是先天性心脏病手术的模型——并非为优化质量而构建。
