DRG grouper assignment depending on discharge date

[Former Member]

Hi all,

in order to cope with a business requirement, I need to be able to manage DRG grouper assignment (IMG path: "SAP Healthcare - .... for Hospitals" --> "Communication" --> "DRG Data Exchange" --> ""Define DRG Grouper Assignment") in dependence of discharge date of the case.

In this customizing table, field GRPSY (IS-H: DRG Grouper Control) Performance Assistant pop-up says that "...A DRG grouper control makes it possible to use different DRG groupers in relation to the admission date of the case".

Now, it's not clear to me in which way admission date could be taken into account...I guess there's a BAdI or a user-exit but I don't know which one.

Besides, it would be great if this same BAdI gave me the chance, as I told, to use discharge date instead of admission date in order to drive a different DRG Grouper assignment.

Anybody has a suggestion or an advice about this subject?

Thanks a lot,

Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Refer to following documentation as per SAP help : BAdIs for Checking DRG-Relevant Data

SAP Patient Management provides two Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that you can use to implement the check on medical documentation and DRG data.

· BAdI IS-H: Check Medial Documentation in NPDRG2 (ISH_NPDRG2_FINAL_CHK)

· BAdI Consistency Check for Medical Documentation (ISH_MD_PROOF)

Check Medical Documentation in NPDRG2

The IS-H: Check Medical Documentation NPDRG2 BAdI (ISH_NPDRG2_FINAL_CHK) enables you to check all of the objects that are available to you in the DRG Work Station.

The system runs the BAdI when you execute the functions with the quick info text Check and with the quick info text Save. The BAdI checks the following data:

· Case data

· Patient data

· Movement data

· Procedure data

· Diagnosis data

· DRG data

If errors occur during the check, the BAdI issues messages that prevent the data from being saved.

Consistency Check for Medical Documentation

The Consistency Check for Medical Documentation BAdI (ISH_MD_PROOF) enables you to run content-related checks on the DRG-relevant data at various events in the DRG Work Station.

The system runs the BAdI when executing the following functions:

· Rules

· with the quick info text Check

· with the quick info text Save

You define the rules the system is to process in the check. If you do not wish to create your own set of rules, you can connect a commercial product. The BAdI itself does not contain any checks.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide and choose SAP Healthcare u2013 Industry-Specific Components for Hospitals ® Medical/Nursing Documentation ® Business Add-Ins for Medical/Nursing Documentation ® BAdI: Check Medical Documentation in NPDRG2 and BAdI: Consistency Check for Medical Documentation.

Thanks anya,

I will try implementation of this BAdIs.

I'll let the forum know the results, in case they might be of interest to others.

Another information on this subject:

working with a colleague of mine, ABAP developer, we found that this requirement (different DRG group ID assignment according to discharge date of the case) could also be satisfied through an implicit enhancement in the FM used for synchronous processing (dynpro field V_TNGRP2-FUB_SYNC, in IMG path "SAP Healthcare - .... for Hospitals" --> "Communication" --> "DRG Data Exchange" --> ""Define DRG Grouping system").

We will try this way first and see if it actually fits requirement.

I'll let you know, for anybody who might be interested.

Thanks and regards,

Andrea
