Hi Keti,

Could you please give us update about the progress with contracts of NCC and Prodacapo. Have you got the contracts signed and grouper software delivered?

Thanks,

Kristiina

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.
