Abstract
Since the first use of diagnosis related groups (DRGs) for hospital payment in the United States in the early 1980s,DRG-type hospital payment systems have become the main method of hospital payment in the majority of OECD countries. In Germany, a national German-DRG (G-DGR) system was gradually introduced over a ten year period following a legislative decision in 2000.
