SwissDRG – Swiss Diagnosis Related Groups (Switzerland)

«Helvetisated» GDRG system

By the end of 2005, a decision was taken in Switzerland to adopt a "Helvetisated" (= maked Swissish) version of the G-DRG system, and call it SwissDRG system. It is planned to use this system for payments as of 2012.

1 To illustrate one especially grave difficulty in the process of "Helvetisation", it should be mentioned here that data on long-term artificial respiration was missing in the Swiss discharge data set. As a consequence, a whole series of GDRGs could actually not be assigned to the existing Swiss data. The respective cases are included in other GDRGs whose case weights and boundary values they maked soaring up. Cf. Braun/Jacobs [Helvetisierung, 2007]: 25 ff.

 

Grouper 0.0 (2007)

The first preparatory work was done on the GDRG-2006 grouper: the German ICD-10-GM and OPS-301 codes were replaced with the Swiss Codes based on ICD-10 and CHOP. The grouping of pre-existing Swiss data resulted in 814 GDRGs (out of a total of 954 defined GDRGs). 586 of the GDRGs taken were rateable.1
