The NordDRG as product

The NordDRG serves as a comprehensive tool for describing the organisation, activities, and staffing of health care providers, supporting informed analysis of health care production and consumption.

Nordic Casemix Centre is engaged in Nordic coordination within the area of Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG). NordDRG is a DRG system which emulates HCFA-DRG version 12 using definitions based on ICD-10 and NCSP (the NOMESCO Classification of Surgical Procedures). The first grouper was completed in 1996. The grouper is updated yearly according to the NordDRG maintenance process and timetable.

National NordDRG definitions are produced for Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia and Latvia. All national versions are published in their respective native languages. A combined version (published in English) of all national NordDRG versions is available and it combines ICD-10 (ICD+) and NCSP (NCSP+) codes from all national basic classifications..
