Download Reference Cost Grouper User Survey 2007/08

•
I think SHA level training days would have been beneficial, especially as it is a great change from v3.5 to
4.Analysts in Trusts were calling one another to get over issues that were cropping up in rdf files. Also the
error in the grouping for J40 was not emailed out as soon as it was known. That would have saved some
wasting of time at our end trying to solve an issue that was within the grouper and not a data problem.

Don't know enough about it to answer your survey well
•
Will this grouper be used in the future to replace the hrg v3.5 grouper and spell converter? if so, what will
happen with excluded episodes? Also, more diagnosis and procedure codes should be used in the
calculations as we have up to 25 of each when coding takes place, some unbundled HRGs are missed

Thanks and please continue to improve.
