Abstract:
The inventors of diagnosis-related groups talk about what's happened to their invention, both in the U.S. and abroad. DRGs were used as the basis for Medicare's prospective payment system, but John D. Thompson and Robert B. Fetter, winners of the 1992 Baxter Foundation Prize for Health Services Research, say things haven't turned out exactly as they'd expected.
