Subject: VS: Georgian texts in DRG definition tables?

Dear Jussi!

Please find attached the definitiotables for Georgian DRG.

The tables are based on NordDRG 2018 and the Georgian basic classifications.

The ICD-codes are updated according to the changes in the attached e-mail.

The Foxpro ® system that this has been created with does not accept Georgian alphabet. Therefore the text of the national codes is in English.

There is now agreement about maintenance of the Georgian DRG definition tables – Georgia will use these definition tables and if necessary agree about a new version later.

Our new system might then work also with the Georgian alphabet.

Greetings

Martti

Aihe: Georgian texts in DRG definition tables?

Hello!

There should be a new set of Georgian DRG definition tables, at least to add some diagnoses, right?

For making VisualDRG update (VD must have descriptive texts) process smoother, could you include the Georgian texts (DRG, MDC, ICD and NCSP) also in definition tables, otherwise those are overwritten and we must update those manually for each new table set version. Or was it so that current old NDMS FoxPro (dbf) had problems using Georgian characters, encoded in Unicode UTF-8?

- If there are technical limitations because of the characters, then we can update the text separately also in the future.

- If those can be included, then I can send the current set (collected what we’ve got from Georgia).

terv. Jussi
