Diagnostic related groups (DRGs) are being adopted as a practical tool in psychiatric classification, as well as a means of reducing health care costs. This study highlights a step-by-step description of the development of 16 outpatient and 14 inpatient DRGs from DSM-III Axis I and Axis II diagnoses on a sample of 591 children (ages 6-14). A plan for the application of diagnostic rules is presented, and issues of generalizability among different treatment populations are discussed.
诊断相关分组(DRGs)正被用作精神科分类的实用工具,也是降低医疗成本的一种手段。本研究详细描述了如何根据591名6至14岁儿童样本的《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版(DSM-III)轴I和轴II诊断结果制定16个门诊DRG和14个住院DRG。文中还介绍了诊断规则的应用计划,并讨论了不同治疗人群中的普遍性问题。
