Question

as Complete calculations using the following formulas Volume (V) x RW Weighted Average (WA) if you are solving to get the Volume it is WA/Rw-v if you are solving to get the Relative Weight it is WAV- RW and if you are solving for Weighted Average it is V x RV-WA ume C TYPE Average Major joint replacement or 420 08 SURG2.0953 880.026 reattachment of lower extremity wo MCC Esophagitis, gastreent & misc 332 06 MED 05 SURG 1.9911 05 MED 244 digest disorders w/o MCC Perc cardiovasc proc w drug- eluting stent w/o MCC 280 leart failure & shock w/o CC/MCC 246 06751 166.0746 Chronic obstructive pulmonary 218 disease w/o CC/MC 04 MED 07072 498 17-0639 | 1 Totals 2002.6282 CMI 1.33865

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER: (a) In MS-DRG, the case of heart failure & shock w/o CC/MCC has the lowest total relative weight about to 0.6751. It is calculated by the following formula:

Relative weight (RW) of any case = Weighted average (WA)/Volume (V) = 246 / 166.07 = 0.6751 It is the lowest total relative weight among the given cases of of skeletal, digestive and circulatory systems.

ANSWER: (b)

MS-DRG: Medicare Severity Diagnoses Related Group is abbreviated as MS-DRG. It has set of records about patients such as disease diagnoses and discharge sheet.

MDC: Major Diagnostic Category (MDC) has the record that made by all principle diagnoses.

VOLUME: Total number of diagnoses of different disorders of patients are consist in it.

TYPE: The name of particular about department that relates to patients are placed.

RELATED WEIGHT: It is the ratio of Volume and weighted average of different patients related to different category of disorder.

ANSWER: (c)

Esophagitis and gastroenteritis & other related miscellaneous disorder are place in the same MS-DRG group of digestive system because the affected organs are mainly work as digetion.

Heart failure & shock are disorder of th organs of circulatory system e.g. heart and vascular network. Hence, these are place in same group of MS-DRG
