APR DRGs dimension

This dimension manages the APR DRGs for your organization, which are commonly implemented as part of the coding and billing process. These values will generally match industry standards or your organization's source systems and data standards.

TIP: You can manage your dimension tables by downloading them in spreadsheet form so that you can make larger changes more easily. You can then upload the spreadsheet with the changes back into the system. For more information, see Editing a dimension using a spreadsheet.
