Hello!

Thank-you for the files. We have tested and created VisualDRG database from these.

Could you add Georgian texts for the following ICD-10 diagnosis groups that were missing:

M00-M25 Arthropathies

M40-M54 Dorsopathies

Sending those simply as mail text is OK, we can add those two manually. Alternatively, those can be left in English.

Best regards,

from winterly Helsinki, now we have got little snow and some degrees below zero, we lost all snow after your visit…

Waiting for a white Christmas.

Dear Jussi,

We are sending you ICD-10 and NCSP hierarchy, translated in Georgian. We are working on DRG definition tables

Government of Georgia must adopt the contact I think after election in November 28.  We will contact you after that.

Thank you again,

With best regards,

Keti

Hello!

I have not heard anything about changes in Georgian DRG definition tables, is Martti working on those to add the missing diagnosis codes? From where will we then get those and do You know any schedules
for the new tables?

How about the contract? Is there something we should still update or provide more information?

Best regards from chilly (now -3 C but no snow) Helsinki,

Jussi

Hello!

7)
Did you ask if Martti knows about using Latvian DRG weights as default now for Georgian version, because the logic builds on LAT version and You do not yet have other weights? I have asked
our Latvian customers (Ministry via our local re-seller there, Meditec Inc.)  if they could confirm permission to copy Latvian weights but have not got an answer yet. I also didn’t find the Latvian weight table from Latvian ministry’s Web site.

We have got permission from Latvia to include Latvian latest DRG weight table in Georgian version of VisualDRG. See notes below.

Thus, this weight table will be included and it can easily be replaced with Georgian weight table and outlier limits later. You can import own weight table from a file also by yourselves.

Best regards,

Jussi

>No, at the moment we do not have the new Latvian DRG weight table for 2019, and it is too soon to tell when it will be available.  As for the second question – we have talked with the people
responsible for production of weight tables at national health department (NHD).
They do >not have any objections about Latvian DRG grouper inclusion in the Georgian VisualDRG version, however they would like to highlight that only 70% of services in Latvia are paid by DRG principles – so there
might be some issues. If there are questions about services which are >excluded from DRG calculations NHD contact person will be happy to answer them. It is possible that NHD could make DRG coefficients including 100% from all services specially for Georgia.
