DRG Data Sets

DRG data sets are actual encounter case data downloaded from files to the VisualDRG database (see DRG Data Set Management). On the DRG data sets page, you can browse and edit your own and your unit's public DRG data sets. Public demo and test data sets cannot be edited.

First, select the DRG data set from the drop-down menu. The basic information of the DRG data set, a summary of the grouping error codes in the data set and the content of the data set are opened.

You can filter the data set based on the error information by clicking on the links in the summary. If the data set is grouped with two versions of DRG, you can also filter out rows that have the same DRG in the primary and secondary groupings.

You can sort and filter the data in the table by any column. You can also select the number of diagnosis and procedure columns to display.

You can edit encounter case data directly in the table, so your changes are saved immediately. You can activate DRG grouping for encounter case data by clicking the button at the beginning of the line to open the data on the DRG grouping page. You can add a new row by clicking the Add new encounter button.

When the encounter case data is opened on the DRG grouping page, the Save, Previous, Next, Add new encounter and Close DRG data set buttons and the encounter ID appear as new. You can save the results of the grouping and any changes you have made on the DRG grouping page to the encounter case data by clicking the Save button. You can use the Previous and Next buttons to move through the lines of the DRG data set. The filters and order selected in the table view have been taken into account when browsing the encounter cases.

On the DRG data sets page, you can clear the DRG data set selection by clicking the Close DRG data set button.

Note that it is possible for multiple users to edit internal DRG data set at the same time. In that case, the most recent change will always take effect.
