AB  - The Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) aren't only a management instrument useful for 
      managers and technicians but also to physicians as professionals who are in fact 
      their producers. The DRG may be used as guides of good clinical practice and as 
      quality pointer. Never as an absolute truth or way of judging something. We study 
      the new arriving 2000 DGR version and how to use it as a guide and quality 
      indicator for physicians who wants to improve his quality, skills and proficiency 
      in clinical practice. We give a brief look on the DGR world expansion and the 
      bibliography to deep the knowledge in this subject.
