Advantages and Disadvantages of DRG System for Turkey

Abstract

Since the number and amount of health services tried to be given in health institutions cannot be measured, it cannot be charged as the remuneration of services in other sectors. For this reason, health services should be evaluated, coded, and grouped on the basis of disease, and should be charged within the framework of these codes and groupings. In the light of all these evaluations, the aim of this study is to provide a fair and quality distribution of the health services provided to the community, to provide a fair reimbursement system to the health service providers in return for the health services provided and to provide the maximum quality, the least cost of the health services provided and the reimbursement in health institutions. Diagnose Related Groups (DRGs) system. One of the most important issues in the DRGs system is the process of determining costs clearly, accurately, objectively and up-to-date. This process should be determined not only by hospitals but by the participation of all stakeholders in health services.
