The term Diagnosis-related Group (DRG) refers to a classification system used to assess hospital services with the aim of streamlining health care costs and improving perform- ance. The DRG system focuses on the utilization of resources, and is not concerned with the specific type of care provided to the patient. This system highlights any diseconomies and eventual critical aspects of the hospital system. This article examines the variables used to correctly evaluate hospital performance based on the DRG system. These include: Average Length of Stay, Average Daily Patient Load, Comparative Performance Index and Case Mix Index.
