AB  - DRG (Diagnosis Related Groups) classification system requests much of medical and 
      financial data from patients record. We also need comprehensive Clinical 
      Information System with computer database to manage such system. In our research 
      we were using HCFA (Health Care Financing Administration) and AN-DRG (Australian 
      National-DRG) methodology for DRG classification. We also used ICD 10-Revision 
      for diagnosis coding. We have chosen ORL Clinic for DRG classification because of 
      two reasons: 1) They treat two basic types of patients medical and surgical and 
      2) They had pretty good sorted patients' records. Our base for DRG classification 
      was 1997 year. During our research we found many deficiencies in patient records 
      in both its parts: medical and financial. Since all records were processed and 
      stored manually, financial data didn't exist. So we had to use other ways for 
      direct and indirect costs allocation (for Prospective Payment System purpose). In 
      1998 we processed 680 patient records (treated in 1997), and made DRG 
      classification putting all 680 patients' records into 183 DRG: 47 medical and 136 
      surgical. This is so called CASE-MIX of the ORL Clinic for year 1997. DRG 
      classification we made at Tuzla ORL Clinic was identical with HCFA DRG 
      classification system in 92%.
