Abstract:
Today's diagnosis related group (DRG) services system has improved medical insurance fees and subdivisions of disease compared with the past DRG system, but does not appropriately take into account the development of complications of severe disease and does not properly compensate care providers for the costs of using the newest medical devices. The Korean DRG system model needs to reflect the medical environment and the latest developments. Therefore, Cooperation with the government, medical service personnel, and citizens is necessary for the improvement of the DRG services system.
