Reporting DRGs dimension

This dimension combines or determines the primary DRGs used for reporting purposes. In some cases, multiple DRGs may be assigned to an inpatient or in others only certain DRGs may be assigned, for example, MS DRGs are assigned to Medicare encounters and APR DRGs are assigned to Medicaid encounters. This reference table lets you combine or determine which DRG to use within a single reference table. These values will generally match one of the DRG reference values.

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.
