Australian Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (AR-DRGs)

The report discusses the data and analysis of the same for UTS Hospital which is a public hospital located in Australia in New South Wales. An extensive analysis is done on the AR-DRGs E69A/B/C which is the code for Bronchitis and Asthma.
 

Chronic Asthmatic Bronchitis - Health Library. (2016). Sw.org. Retrieved 23 May 2016.

Australian Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (AR-DRGs) is a classification system that puts forward a clinical mechanism to relate the patients that are treated in a particular hospital with the resources that are utilized by the hospital. These groupings have been done on the basis of the similarities found in the clinical status and the required hospital service for the same. ("Australian refined diagnosis-related groups (AR-DRG) data cubes (AIHW)", 2016).

DGR E69A/B/C belongs to the MDC 04 which stands for Diseases & Disorders of the Respiratory System. This DRG belongs to the disease Bronchitis and Asthma. Bronchitis is a respiratory malady in which the bodily fluid layer in the lungs' bronchial sections gets to be kindled. As the bothered layer swells and develops thicker, it contracts or stops the minor aviation routes in the lungs, bringing about hacking spells that might be joined by mucus and shortness of breath. The malady comes in two structures: intense (enduring from one to three weeks) and endless (enduring no less than 3 months of the year for a long time in succession). Asthma is a constant sickness including the aviation routes in the lungs. These aviation routes, or bronchial tubes, permit air to come all through the lungs.                                

Acute care is a branch of health care that is secondary in nature. Under this care, a patient receives active and immediate but short-term treatment. The treatment is provided for long illness, severe injury or an urgent medical condition. It is entirely opposite from the long-term or chronic care ("Acute hospitals and integrated care", 2015).

AMO specialty that is seen more commonly is general medicine and the discharge intention is overnight as compared to the same day discharge. J45.9 is the most frequent diagnosis code and 95550-03 is the major procedure code.

There is no cure for asthma, yet side effects can be controlled with compelling asthma treatment and administration. This includes taking the medicines as guided and figuring out how to keep away from triggers that bring about asthma side effects.

Ordinary treatment for intense bronchitis may comprise of straightforward measures, for example, getting a lot of rest, drinking loads of liquids, staying away from smoke and exhaust, and potentially getting a medicine for a breathed in bronchodilator and/or hack syrup. Now and again of incessant bronchitis, oral steroids to decrease aggravation and/or supplemental oxygen might be important.

Over-the-counter non-steroidal mitigating drugs (NSAIDS, for example, headache medicine, ibuprofen and naproxen may relieve your sore throat. Humidifiers make dampness noticeable all around you relax. This can release bodily fluid in your nasal sections and mid-section, making it simpler to relax. Drinking a lot of fluids, for example, water or tea, can disperse bodily fluid. This makes it less demanding to hack it up or clean out it out through your nose.

The selected plan for analyzing the data for the patients of UTS Hospital diagnosed and treated with the DRG E69A/E69B/E69C is:

  • Sort the information for each of the DGR as E69A, E69B and E69C.
  • Compare the data collected with the overall data of the patients
  • Identify the commonly occurring diagnostic information and procedure information on the Bronchitis and Asthma patients
  • Analyze the data and infer the patterns out of the data such as the age group that is affected the most, gender than is affected the most and likewise
  • Look through the discharge information and the period of stay of the patients in the hospital
  • Combine all of the information in the form of tables, figures and charts

The data set that has been chosen for this study consists of 34624 records and the proportion covered by AR-DRG E69A/B/C is 413 records which accounts for 1.192% of the entire dataset with 0.037% patients treated for E69A, 0.26% treated for E69B and 0.895% for E69C.

  • More number of males have been diagnosed with E69A/B/C whereas more females are diagnosed for other DRGs
  • Overnight discharges occur more than the same day discharges for all the DRGs
  • Maximum ICU hours in case of Bronchitis and Asthma is 46 but it went as high as up to 2695 hours in other DRGs
  • The average age recorded for Asthma and Bronchitis is 22.6 years and is 39.27 for the rest of them.

Important Points from the Analysis

  • Principal diagnosis most commonly seen: J45.9
  • Most common Procedure codes: 95550-03
  • Overnight discharges happen more than same day discharges
  • More males diagnosed with Bronchitis and Asthma

Prevention for Asthma and Bronchitis

  • Intake of proper medications as per the recommendations by the doctor or caregiver.
  • Avoid the harm causing factors such as pollen grains, smoke and likewise.
  • Increased use of electrostatic air cleaner to be free from dust
  • Increased consumption of water on a daily basis and especially in the mornings
  • Bring exercise and workout in the routine schedule
  • Get rid of the pets is animal dander is one of the causes of Asthma
  • Be well aware of the medical condition
  • Maintain wellness
  • Seek medical care if the problems increase ("Chronic Asthmatic Bronchitis - Health Library", 2016)

Conclusions

Bronchitis and Asthma are the diseases that are primarily treated in the Acute Care facility and can be chronic as well as non-chronic in nature. A detailed analysis on the profile of the patients is done in a record of 34624 patients. There are 413 patients belonging to E69A/B/C DRG and the principal diagnosis and procedure codes seen are J45.9 and 95550-03.
