DRGs (Diagnosis Related Groups) is a methodology for classifying patients based on the amount and type of hospital resources needed to treat them. The DRG classification system is used to determine reimbursement (CMS’s Prospectiv Payment System) and funding and to measure the quality of care provided by hospitals. DRGs link clinical and financial data, and provide an operational means to define case mix (the range and type of patients a hospital treats). On October 1, 2007 CMS made changes to the DRG system. To differentiate it, the newly resequenced DRGs are now known as MS-DRGs.
