    Background:

    • Healthcare facilities are transitioning to case mix systems like Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG).
    • Effective preparation is crucial for successful implementation and data management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline viable technological options for healthcare facilities preparing for DRG-based systems.
    • To provide guidance on selecting appropriate data management solutions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of technological solutions applicable to healthcare data management.
    • Analysis of options including microcomputers, shared computer services, and generalized database management systems.

    Main Results:

    • Microcomputers offer localized data processing capabilities.
    • Shared computer services provide centralized data management and potentially lower costs.
    • Generalized database management systems offer robust data organization and analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Healthcare facilities have diverse technological avenues for DRG system preparation.
    • The choice of system depends on facility size, resources, and specific data management needs.
