Symposium: The potential impact of diagnosis-related groups on long term care.
On April 29, 1983, a group of 33 individuals in the field of long term care convened to discuss the potential impact on long term care of federal regulations that mandate prospective reimbursement to hospitals by the Government of a fixed amount for all cases in the same category, or diagnosis-related group (DRG). The following is an edited text of that symposium, sponsored by the PRIDE Institute, Department of Community Medicine, St. Vincent's Hospital and Medical Center of New York.
