With reference to Australian and overseas literature, briefly:
1. Define these AR-DRGs, including the diagnoses usually associated with them
Describe the current prevalence & incidence of antenatal admissions to acute hospitals, and any
relevant trends
2.
Describe approaches used to prevent hospitalisation and decrease length of stay for asthma &
bronchitis
3.
B: Analysis
Analyse the UTS Hospital dataset as follows:
Create a profile of patients in AR-DRGs E69a, E69b & E69c
1.1 include both individual and episode characteristics (e.g. age [an individual characteristic]
and length of stay [an episode characteristic], and others you identify in the literature)
1.2 include the proportion of the dataset that these patients comprise
1.3 compare this to a profile of all patients in this dataset
1.
For patients in AR-DRGs E69a, E69b & E69c:
2.1 identify the most common principal and secondary diagnoses
2.2 identify the most common principal and secondary procedures
2.3 compare the length of stay for patients in AR-DRGs E69a, E69b & E69c to patients in
related AR-DRGs, and/or the same MDCs
C: Analysis
Based primarily on your analyses, but with reference to the literature:
Identify important points in your analyses that might suggest interventions to reduce the incidence
of hospitalisation and length of stay in AR-DRGs E69a, E69b & E69c
1.
Make specific recommendations to reduce the incidence of hospitalisation and length of stay for
patients in AR-DRGs E69a, E69b & E69c
