      Groups (DRG)--the positive effects of health policy research results].
PG  - 186-9
AB  - Empirical researches about the results of health policy are rare. Almost, these 
      researches take a look to very special aspects. Researches about the results of 
      health policy is not very often demanded from the policy. In contrast to most 
      legislation, the implementation of "diagnosis related groups" (DRG) will be 
      realised in several steps. In these steps, there are several possibilities to 
      correct the implementation if something is going wrong. With this background, the 
      policy demands the researches about the results of the implementation of the DRG. 
      Now, we are standing at the beginning of the process of the DRG implementation. 
      It is not yet the time to provide assured empirical results about all the 
      consequences of DRG. In spite of this, we found first hints: the implementation 
      of DRG increases the work stress of nurses. As a result the quality of nursing 
      could decrease.
