This study introduces a new, efficient, and secure DRG (Diagnosis-Related Groups) system for Romanian hospital financing. It utilizes a distributed database and a Java-based online application for improved data management and accessibility.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Database Management Systems
  • Health Services Management

Background:

  • The current hospital financing system in Romania relies on the Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) classifying system.
  • Existing DRG implementation faces challenges in efficiency, security, and modernity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel solution for implementing the DRG classifying system in Romania.
  • To enhance hospital financing through improved data management and accessibility.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a fragmented and distributed database at each hospital level.
  • Development of an online application using Java for database management and viewing.
  • Utilization of Oracle8 Server and Net8 for robust database administration.
