    A unique nursing study develops measures for nursing care variation within Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs). This collaboration allows nurses direct input into state reimbursement, potentially serving as a national prototype.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Nursing Economics
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Nursing care variation is a critical factor in healthcare reimbursement.
    • Existing reimbursement models may not adequately capture the complexity of nursing services.
    • Professional nursing input is essential for accurate healthcare payment systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop measures for assessing the relative variation in nursing care intensity across Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs).
    • To establish a mechanism for direct professional nursing input into state reimbursement methodologies.
    • To create a unique, potentially national prototype for recognizing nursing services in reimbursement.

    Main Methods:

    • Annual collaboration between a state nurses' association, state department of health, and a consulting agency.

  • Development of specific measures to quantify nursing care variations linked to each DRG.
  • Analysis of nursing care components within the DRG framework.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful development of measures for relative nursing care variation per DRG.
    • Established a direct channel for nursing profession input into state reimbursement policy.
    • Created a unique reimbursement methodology recognizing nursing services.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed methodology provides a mechanism for nursing's direct input into healthcare reimbursement.
    • This innovative approach recognizes and quantifies nursing care within the DRG system.
    • The model serves as a potential prototype for other states seeking equitable nursing reimbursement.
