Application of DRGs in hospital medical record management and its impact on service quality.
Article in International journal for quality in health care : journal of the International Society for Quality in Health Care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTo explore the application of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) in hospital medical record management and the impact on service quality.
objectiveThis study introduced DGRs management into hospital medical record management in order to improve the quality of hospital medical record management.
methodThe medical record management of our hospital was analysed retrospectively between August 2020 and April 2021. A total of 7263 cases without DRG management before January 2021 were included in a control group, and 7922 cases with DRG management after January 2021 were included in a study group. The error rate of medical records, the specific error items and the scores of service capability, service efficiency and service quality were compared along with the comprehensive scores of the two groups.
resultsThe error rate of medical records in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (19.35% vs. 31.24%, P < 0.05). The error rates in terms of diagnosis on admission, surgical procedures, main diagnosis and other diagnoses in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The scores for service ability, service efficiency and service quality were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The comprehensive evaluation score of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01).
conclusionApplying DRGs in the hospital medical record management can effectively reduce the error rate of medical records and improve the quality of hospital services.
