Patient Information by DRG (Diagnosis Related Group) and Hospital
Because each hospital stay is unique, discharge records are grouped by diagnosis and procedures to help standardize the data and allow costs to be examined and compared. These groups are called Diagnosis Related Groups, or DRGs. You may open this report and review the data until you find the DRG you are interested in. This report is called Hospital Census and Charges by DRG
