AR-DRG 9 #1
Comments
Hi,
Could you elaborate what specific feature you are looking for? |
If i could see this, then it would be much appreciated. AR-DRG 9 / ICD 10.16 combination is currently used in Australia. e.g. DRG T01A infectious and parasitic diseases with GIs was derived from the principal dx of A41.9 sepsis, unspecified + principal procedure of 38677-00 partial thck exc ventricular myocardium. The screenshot is attached. I want to see a function like drg_map() where i could plug in arguments like principal dx, principal procedure, decimal format yes or no, etc. That will be brilliant for the Australian users. |
The above message means that something like a grouper software. Thanks. |
My request is that drg_map(age, gender, discharge, dx, procedures,...). Therefore, i could audit upcoding and downcoding problems. Thanks. |
Thanks for clarification. I am not familiar with the AR-DRG codes. However, I would like to evaluate how much work it will be to add such a feature to the package. Some follow-up questions are

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any question. Happy to help. |
The above weblink states that Episodes of admitted acute care are assigned with disease and intervention codes by health information managers or clinical coders. AR-DRGs are then assigned based on these codes and a number of other routinely collected variables including: age, sex, mode of separation (discharge), length of stay, newborn admission weight and hours of mechanical ventilation. |
Thanks for the reference. I thought the mapping is deterministic similar to the determination of comorbidity or |
Hi there, it is deterministic = yields only one solution that is DRG |
I am not clear about why it is deterministic. Is it possible to get different DRG mapped by using different training sets? |
Thanks for your q. |
Hi there, thanks for providing this R package for us.
Do you develop Australian Revision DRG 9, ICD 10.16?
If not, will you add as functions extending to this package?
Cheers.
