Impact of Semi-automated Proposal and Optimization of Diagnoses and Surgical Procedures for Precoding: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Thomas Steffen·observational·Posted Jan 27, 2021·Updated Aug 4, 2021

In Brief

An observational study evaluating Standard procedure and precoding for Diagnosis-Related Groups and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System. Completed, enrolled 1,200 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The hypothesis of present study is that the daily monitoring and optimization of DRG coding is associated with higher reimbursement. Therefore, the primary objective is to determine if the daily monitoring and optimization of DRG coding of individual cases leads to better proceeds per day.

Interventions

Standard procedureother

Coding of cases follows the standard procedures established at the hospital

precodingother

Standard coding will be reviewed by dedicated physicians and corrected or extended if necessary. Coding will compared to the written OP report for consistency. Dedicated physician visits patients daily (in addition to routine visits). Dedicated physicians review discharge report and will make changes and additions. DRG coding will be adapted to results from visits and discharge report.
