Cross-check With US Federal Dataset

QUESTION

How do I confirm that my DRGGroupers product installation is working properly?

ANSWER

Every year, the US Federal government releases a test dataset against which we validate our implementation. In addition to the various inputs to DRG assignment, this test data set contains the expected DRG which should be the output. We run our implementation against the official mapping and ensure that our results conform.

We are happy to provide a copy of the test dataset along with the appropriate DRGFilt control file, free of charge, to any customer who asks for it.

See our FAQ for details about how we use the test dataset internally.
