Abstract:Objective Usually, the indicators of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) are used to evaluate the capability of general hospitals. When they are used in the internal evaluation of hospitals, existing indicators are not suitable for direct comparison of clinical specialties due to the large differences between specialties. This paper discusses the application of DRGs index system in hospital evaluation, and puts forward the specialized competence index and its calculation method. Methods Based on the DRGs grouping results of a hospital in 2018 and the DRGs data of the province in which the hospital is located, the problems existing in the application of the existing DRGs index system in the specialty evaluation of the hospital are demonstrated, and a new evaluation index-specialty competence index is proposed to compare and evaluate the clinical departments. Results The new index could effectively make up for the "incomparable" problem of DRGs index system in the evaluation of clinical departments within the hospital, and can reflect the specialized ability of clinical departments to a certain extent. Conclusion The specialized competence index based on DRGs not only makes each clinical department comparable, but also reflects the comprehensive medical service ability of the clinical departments to a certain extent.
