Abstract:
After introducing DRGs (Diagnosis-Related Groups) in the prospective payment system for German hospitals, the use of per-case reimbursement for medical rehabilitation as well is being discussed. In particular two systems have already been tested internationally. FIM-FRG were especially developed for a prospective payment system for inpatient rehabilitation facilities. RUG-III are used for reimbursing long-term care in nursing homes and are based on a per-day payment. It is recommended to test the FIM-FRG or one of the refined systems in Germany in a pilot project.
