HCA 675 Grand Canyon Week 2 Discussion 1
What are the pros and cons of a DRG payor system, and a capitated payor system? If you were a health care czar, which one would you favor and why?
Answer:
The advantages of the DRG payment system are reflected in the increased efficiency and transparency and reduced average length of stay. The disadvantage of DRG is creating financial incentives toward earlier hospital discharges. Occasionally, such polices are not in full accordance with the clinical benefit priorities.
