Dear Keti and Maia

Hope you're doing fine! Just to follow up regarding these congenital heart surgery case groups. Probably this bases on the following methodology (shared with us in 2017: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25620593)
but as we understood you've been modifying it to better fit for Georgian context. We'd be thankful if you could share the methodology you are using and maybe also some basic statistics: number of cases by groups and providers, average cost per case.

Many thanks in advance!

Best
