10 years of DRG project with the German Society of Gastroenterology (DGVS)

A success story

In 2012, the DGVS launched a project together with inspiring-health to improve the mapping of gastroenterological services in hospitals through the DRG system.

The DGVS DRG project became a success story. Since 2015, an average of more than 30 applications have been submitted annually to BfArM/DIMDI and InEK. Over 130 of these have been implemented by InEK. On the one hand, this is due to a dialog between the professional society and InEK moderated by inspiring-health, but the decisive success factor is the company's own annual cost calculation with over 50 costing houses. This cost calculation enables inspiring-health to make targeted applications for gastroenterology based on its own statistical analyses.
