The MS-DRG (Medicare Severity-Diagnosis Related Group) system assigns patients into groups based on their diagnosis, procedures performed, age, and other factors. The system is designed to accurately reflect the severity of a patient's illness or injury and the resources required for their care. This results in increased reimbursement for hospitals that treat sicker patients with more complex medical needs.
