A new case complexity methodology, known as the Episode Clinical Complexity (ECC) Model, was implemented into the classification in AR-DRG Version 8.0, where the major revision was at the end class, or Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) level. The structural component of the classification was left unchanged during this development cycle. The work program for Version 9.0 primarily focused on a review at this higher level of the classification, utilising the improvements made to the classification in Version 8.0 with the improvement in the calculation of case complexity. The Australian Consortium for Classification Development (ACCD) consulted extensively with both the Classifications Clinical Advisory Group (CCAG) and the DRG Technical Group (DTG) in developing the work program and then developing proposals, reviewing the results of comprehensive investigations and statistical analyses, and determining the final recommendations for consideration by the Pricing Authority (PA).A systematic review was undertaken which incorporated the Pre Major Diagnostic Category (Pre MDC) Adjacent Diagnosis Related Groups (ADRGs) and other selected ADRGs, including those in the ‘Other’ partition within the Major Diagnostic Categories (MDCs), those using administrative variables in their definition, and two ADRGs specifically identified as lacking clinical distinctiveness. The work program also incorporated the review of public submissions, and proposals as highlighted through modifications arising from the concurrent International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification, the Australian Classification of Health Interventions and the Australian Coding Standards (ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS) Tenth Edition development work undertaken by ACCD. The development work for AR-DRG Version 9.0 followed the Principles for Construction of AR-DRGs that were developed for Version 8.0.The final result was a slight decrease in the number of ADRGs and DRGs, reduced by seven and four respectively with a similar overall statistical performance as in AR-DRG Version 8.0. Significant changes include:Refinement to the classification of episodes previously grouping to A06 Tracheostomy and/or Ventilation >=96 hours, with its replacement by three new ADRGs, providing an increase in DRGs from three to eight.Improvements to the clinical coherency of the classification, including the removal of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as a condition that previously overrode the principal diagnosis (PDx) in the grouping logic.Reduction in the use of administrative variables (e.g. length of stay) to define ADRGs.Simplification in the structure of the classification with the removal of the ‘Other’ partition. The structural changes implemented in Version 9.0 build on the improvements implemented at the end class in Version 8.0, and provide an updated and streamlined framework on which to base future development work. IntroductionACCD is contracted by the Commonwealth of Australia as represented by the Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) to maintain, develop and improve the AR-DRG Classification System. The consortium is led by the University of Sydney’s National Centre for Classification in Health (NCCH) in collaboration with Western Sydney University (WSU) and KPMG.There are two major components of the AR-DRG Classification system:ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS, andThe AR-DRG classification.1.1 BackgroundFollowing the completion of ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS Ninth Edition and AR-DRG Version 8.0 (both released in July 2015), the AR-DRG Classification System development work has continued, to deliver ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS Tenth Edition and AR-DRG Version 9.0 both scheduled for release in July 2017.The major focus of the AR-DRG Version 9.0 development has been at the ADRG level. This work was a progression from the development and implementation of the ECC model in Version 8.0 where the major changes were at the end class, or DRG level, with the ADRG structure unchanged. In addition, the momentum behind a systematic review of ADRGs had been building for some years and a range of issues with the current system had been identified both by public submissions and input from various expert groups, committees and stakeholders. 1.2 Governance and consultation processThe PA has the overall governance role and is responsible for the effective and efficient performance of IHPA’s functions. The final decision on the AR-DRG Classification System rests with the PA.ACCD’s governance arrangements, endorsed by IHPA, include management of the following advisory and technical groups to ensure appropriate communication channels:ICD Technical Group (ITG): advice in regard to the refinement and development of ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS.DRG Technical Group (DTG): advice in regard to the refinement and development of AR-AG: to facilitate broad canvassing of clinical opinion to ensure that there is likely to be general acceptance of the developed proposals.The DTG includes representatives from Australian state and territory health authorities as well as the New Zealand Ministry of Health, Australian Private Hospitals Association, Catholic Health Australia, Private Healthcare Australia, Australian Government Department of Health, IHPA and the National Hospital Cost Data Collection (NHCDC) Advisory Committee. The ICD Technical Group and CCAG also have representatives attending DTG meetings.Clinical and technical advice for AR-DRG Version 9.0 content was provided by CCAG, DTG, and the ACCD’s Principal Clinical Advisor (PCA), who in turn consult widely with their peers and within their jurisdictions and organisations.In addition, a public consultation process on the major changes proposed for AR-DRG Version 9.0 was undertaken during the period 1 to 31 August 2016. The comments received were considered in the final determination of changes to be implemented for Version 9.0.The principles for construction of the AR-DRG classification included in the ACCD report of 31 October 2014 have been followed in developing AR-DRG Version 9.0.Overview of AR-DRG Version 9.0There are a total of 399 ADRGs in AR-DRG Version 9.0 with 396 non-error ADRGs and three error ADRGs (960 Ungroupable, 961 Unacceptable Principal Diagnosis and 963 Neonatal Diagnosis Not Consistent W Age/Weight), representing a net decrease of seven ADRGs (see REF _Ref466300194 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Appendix A: V9.0 ADRG Descriptions). There are eight newly created ADRGs (some of which resulted from the combining or splitting of Version 8.0 ADRGs) and 15 deleted ADRGs (some of which were combined or split into new ADRGs) (see REF _Ref466281011 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 1). Eight Pre MDC ADRGs were retained, with all but one of these (A40 ECMO) moving into their natural MDC, and so have been renumbered to align with the MDC where they are now placed.Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 1: New/Deleted ADRGs for AR-DRG Version 9.0New/Deleted ADRGsDescriptionNew ADRGs (Total = 8)A13 Ventilation >=336 hours (arising from deletion of A06)A14 Ventilation >=96 hours & <336 hours (arising from deletion of A06)A15 Tracheostomy (arising from deletion of A06)B83 Acute Paraplegia and Quadriplegia and Spinal Cord Conditions (arising from combining of B60 and B61)E77 Bronchiectasis (newly created to separate these episodes from E65)F24 Interventional Coronary Procs, Not Adm for AMI (arising from the combining of F15 & F16)H65 Bleeding Oesophageal Varices (arising from the deletion of H40)I33 Hip Replacement for Non-Trauma (newly created to separate these episodes from I03)New/Deleted ADRGsDescriptionDeleted ADRGs (Total – 15)A06 Tracheostomy and/or Ventilation >=96 hours (split into A13, A14, A15)A11 Insertion of Implantable Spinal Infusion DeviceA12 Insertion of Neurostimulator DeviceB60 Acute Paraplegia and Quadriplegia W or W/O OR Procedures (combined with B61 into newly created B83)B61 Spinal Cord Conditions W or W/O OR Procedures (combined with B60 into newly created B83)F15 Interventional Coronary Procs, Not Adm for AMI, W Stent Implant (combined with F16 into newly created F24)F16 Interventional Coronary Procs, Not Adm for AMI, W/O Stent Implant (combined with F15 into newly created F24)H40 Endoscopic Procedures for Bleeding Oesophageal Varices (medical ADRG H65 created) H43 ERCP ProceduresI40 Infusions for Musculoskeletal DisordersI81 Musculoskeletal InjuriesI82 Other Sameday Treatment for Musculoskeletal DisordersS65 Human Immunodeficiency VirusV65 Treatment for Alcohol Disorders, SamedayV66 Treatment for Drug Disorders, SamedayOf the 399 ADRGs in AR-DRG Version 9.0, 87 have no split (Z), 225 have one split (A,B), 82 have two splits (A, B, C) and five have three splits (A, B, C, D).

The development of Version 8.0 used a data driven approach to the splitting of ADRGs into component DRGs, based on measured relative resource use as a proxy for clinical complexity. The ECC model determines the relative use of each and every diagnosis (including the PDx) in each episode, in the context of the ADRG, and then identifies ‘splits’ into the end classes, or DRGs. The resulting DRGs were better matched to complexity than earlier versions, providing the platform to effectively review and improve the classification at the ADRG level.The Version 9.0 work program was initially sourced from clinical recommendations provided by the CCAG, and then in consultation with DTG and IHPA committees. Extensive investigation and data analysis was undertaken on each of the recommendations to provide the technical information to inform the decisions, made in consultation with both CCAG and the DTG. Specific ADRGs were selected for review as part of the Version 9.0 development because: many current ADRGs appear to work well and can safely be left as they arean incremental approach, targeting specific problems, minimises disruption as new AR-DRG versions are introduced. In consultation with CCAG and DTG, the following groups of ADRGs were included for review:Pre MDC ADRGsADRGs using Pre MDC processing logicADRGs in the ‘Other’ partition ADRGs using administrative variables in their definitionADRGs with a lack of clinical distinctiveness.The work program also included:the review of DRG public submissions, including submissions that had been held over from previous development cycles and those submitted to ACCD through the ACCD Classification Information Portal (CLIP) prior to the close off date (31 May 2016)proposals as highlighted through modifications arising from the concurrent ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS Tenth Edition development work.Review process and outcomesStatistical AnalysisComprehensive analysis was undertaken on all proposals to determine the episode movements and measure the impact on performance, both at an overall classification level and for blocks of episodes. Data preparationThe modelling and analysis work for AR-DRG Version 9.0 drew upon the latest acute admitted episode data available to ACCD, including the Admitted Patient Collection (APC) managed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) and the NHCDC managed by IHPA.The primary source of cost data was the latest three years of data from the NHCDC (2011/12 to 2013/14). The business rules for data exclusions (i.e. removal of certain episodes and certain codes) were generally consistent with those used for V8.0. All episode costs reported in the NHCDC were used, except those reported within the depreciation and Emergency Department (ED) cost buckets. The ED costs were unsuitable to use for the purpose of the classification development as there were inconsistencies in this data item across the different years’ data sets. The costs were adjusted to the 2013/14 value, using the health price index published by the AIHW.Similar to the development of Version 8.0, the ability to include private sector data in the modelling work, and to address issues raised by private sector representatives was constrained by the absence of private hospital cost data. In order to manage this data limitation, the three years APC data (2010-11 to 2012-13) was used to compare clinical profiles between public and private hospital patients as required. 4.1 Review of Pre MDC ADRGsPre MDC ADRGs fall into two groups:The ADRGs which have been created to group very high cost treatment, such as organ transplant.The ADRG which groups together all episodes that include a very high cost service as a component of their care (notably prolonged ventilation in A06 which is covered in section REF _Ref466300427 \r \h 0 below).In these episodes, the care provided is used to group the episodes rather than the patient condition. The outcome is that the Pre MDC ADRGs can include patients with a variety of conditions. In Pre MDC processing, the PDx is overridden. The 11 Pre MDC ADRGs in Version 8.0 were all reviewed to determine if it was still appropriate to separate out these episodes on the basis of the care provided, given that in accordance with the principles underlying the development, the classification should be based as far as possible on patient characteristics (notably diagnoses or main intervention).Outcomes:A selection of the Pre MDC ADRGs were considered to appropriately define episodes according to the treatment provided and so have been retained as a group. As the PDx for each of these was predominately located in a particular MDC, new ADRGs have been created in the appropriate MDCs (using the same logic, i.e. the episode will group to that ADRG regardless of the PDx) (see REF _Ref481415707 \h Table 3). These ADRGs are placed at the top of the Intervention partition hierarchy within the MDCs.Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 3: ADRGs removed from Pre MDC with newly created ADRGsV8.0 Pre MDC ADRGTitleChanges for AR-DRG Version 9.0A01Liver transplantRemoved from Pre MDC with new ADRG (H09) created in MDC 07 Diseases and Disorders of the Hepatobiliary System and Pancreas A03Lung or Heart-Lung TransplantRemoved from Pre MDC with new ADRG (E03) created in MDC 04 Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory System A05Heart transplantRemoved from Pre MDC with new ADRG (F23) created in MDC 05 Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System A07Allogeneic Bone Marrow TransplantRemoved from Pre MDC with new ADRG (R05) created in MDC 17 Neoplastic Disorders A08Autologous bone marrow transplantRemoved from Pre MDC with new ADRG (R06) created in MDC 17 Neoplastic Disorders A09Kidney transplantRemoved from Pre MDC with new ADRG (L10) created in MDC 11 Diseases and Disorders of the Kidney and Urinary Tract A10Insertion of Ventricular Assist DeviceRemoved from Pre MDC with new ADRG (F22) created in MDC 05 Diseases and Disorders of the Circulatory System Outcome:Two Pre MDC ADRGs were removed (see REF _Ref466283505 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 4), as the frequencies and costs did not warrant the existence of a Pre MDC, and the episodes were considered to be more appropriately grouped to MDCs according to the PDx. Thus these episodes will be spread across a range of MDCs.

Pre MDC processing for A06 groups all episodes together that involve a tracheostomy being performed or continuous ventilatory support >=96 hours, regardless of the PDx. This results in a grouping of a wide range of conditions as the PDx of these high cost episodes are not considered in ADRG allocation. Several options were discussed. CCAG advised that the tracheostomy episodes could constitute a separate ADRG. No satisfactory proposal was identified that would allow the remaining episodes to be spread across other MDCs. Additional analyses demonstrated that improvements could be made to the current grouping logic to further classify the episodes into more homogenous categories. Outcome: A06 has been replaced with three new ADRGs within the Pre MDCs, separating out longer term ventilatory episodes (>= 2 weeks) and tracheostomy episodes, resulting in an increase from three DRGs (A06A, A06B, A06C) to eight DRGs across the new ADRGs (refer REF _Ref466284145 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 5). The grouping of episodes into A13 or A14 will be determined from the ACHI code 13882-02 [569] Management of continuous ventilation support >= 96 hours and also the Hours of Mechanical Ventilation (HMV) data item from the National Minimum Dataset (NMDS). Episodes will be assigned to A13 where the ventilation hours are >=336 hours. All other episodes will group to A14.Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 5: Replacement of A06V8.0 Pre MDC ADRGTitleChanges for AR-DRG Version 9.0A06Tracheostomy and/or Ventilation >=96hoursReplace A06 with three new ADRGs:A13 Ventilation >=336 hours (2 weeks) (2 DRGS)A14 Ventilation >=96 and <336 hours (3 DRGs)A15 Tracheostomy (3 DRGs)ACCD has highlighted that consideration may be given to a future review of the proposed Pre MDC ADRGs A13 and A14 to provide additional clinical distinctiveness.4.3ADRGs using Pre MDC reassignment logicIn addition to separating out very high cost ADRGs, Pre MDC processing also changes MDCs where the MDC is not defined exclusively on the basis of the PDx, including in MDC 01 (paraplegia and quadriplegia), MDC 15 (newborns and other neonates), MDC 18 (HIV) and MDC 21 (multiple significant trauma). Of the ADRGs using Pre MDC reassignment, paraplegia and quadriplegia (MDC 01) and HIV (MDC 18) were selected for review as part of the Version 9.0 development work, to determine if it was still appropriate to separate out these episodes given the advances in treatment and management of these conditions that had occurred over recent years. Pre MDC reassignment groups episodes with a PDx of HIV (or an HIV related PDx) and those with an additional diagnosis of HIV to MDC 18 Infectious and Parasitic Diseases. Pre MDC reassignment also groups episodes that include a diagnosis of paraplegia, quadriplegia or specific spinal conditions to one of three medical ADRGs that are at the top of the hierarchy in MDC 01 Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System, regardless of the PDx or any surgical procedures. Outcomes: Given the changes in the clinical management of HIV, it was determined that these episodes should be classified according to the PDx, which is often a manifestation of the HIV (see REF _Ref466284454 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 6). This removes MDC 18 Infectious and Parasitic Diseases HIV from the classification.While the paraplegia/quadriplegia episodes were seen as a complex cohort, there was a large variation in cost distribution, and it was determined that the paraplegia/quadriplegia diagnosis should not override the PDx for surgical episodes as they were better defined by the surgical intervention and thus need to be reclassified to their MDC (see REF _Ref466284454 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 6).Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 6: Changes to ADRGs using Pre MDC reassignment logicV8.0 ADRGChanges for AR-DRG Version 9.0S65 – HIVRemove the Pre MDC logic used for HIV and the ADRG S65 Human Immunodeficiency Virus and allocate HIV related episodes to their ‘natural’ MDC according to the PDxEpisodes with a PDx of HIV to group to ADRG T64 Other Infectious and Parasitic DiseasesB60 - Acute Paraplegia and Quadriplegia W or W/O OR ProceduresB61 - Spinal Cord Conditions W or W/O OR Procedures B82 - Chronic and Unspecified Paraplegia/Quadriplegia W or W/O OR ProceduresSurgical (Operating room [OR]) episodes including a diagnosis of paraplegia/quadriplegia to be removed from the Pre MDC reassignment and assigned to the MDC based on the PDx and then the relevant ADRG based on the interventionMedical episodes with a diagnosis of paraplegia/quadriplegia continue to group to the three ADRGs, with these ADRGs moved to the top of the medical partition in MDC 01B60 and B61 have been combined into a new ADRG due to the low number of episodes grouping to these ADRGs (B83 Acute Paraplegia and Quadriplegia and Spinal Cord Conditions) and B82 has been renamed Chronic and Unspecified Paraplegia/Quadriplegia4.4 ADRGs in the ‘Other’ partition The AR-DRG classification is broadly categorised into MDCs which are generally based on a single body system or aetiology associated with a particular clinical specialty. Within each MDC the ADRGs have clinically meaningful classes generally defined by the PDx or intervention codes. The ADRGs are subdivided into three separate partitions within the MDCs:Surgical: the episode needs to include at least one OR procedure‘Other’: the episode does not include an OR procedure, but includes at least one Non Operating Room (NonOR) procedure considered significant for the MDCMedical: the episode does not include an OR procedure or a locally significant NonOR procedure.As defined in the AR-DRG Definitions Manual Version 8.0, OR procedures are ‘those interventions that are considered significant for all MDCs’, and NonOR procedures are ‘interventions that are considered significant by the classification for only some MDCs’. Generally, the ‘Other’ partition includes non-surgical interventions or some type of ventilator support, however the definition of NonOR procedures only relates to their use in the classification and is not a true clinical definition. Interventions identified as NonOR may actually take place in operating rooms. There is variation in the nature of episodes allocated to the ‘Other’ partition, with some interventions arguably surgical in nature, while others are now ambulatory procedures.All the ADRGs in the ‘Other’ partitions were reviewed to determine whether they should be revised or disaggregated and also, if retained, whether the two different types of interventions could be preserved, noting the outcome of this was a change in name to the Intervention partition to encompass the expanded range of interventions.Outcomes:The Surgical and Other partitions have both been included in a newly created Intervention partition (includes ADRGs with the numeric characters 01 to 59), with the Medical partition being retained as for V8.0 (ADRGs with the numeric characters 60 to 99).OR procedures have been renamed as General Interventions (GIs) and Non OR procedures as Specific Interventions (SIs).The Intervention partition includes ADRGs that are defined by:the presence of GIs - identifiable as those ADRGs with the numeric characters 00 to 39 e.g. B05 Carpal Tunnel Release (formerly comprising the Surgical partition); andthe presence of SIs - identifiable as those ADRGs with the numeric characters 40 to 59, e.g. B41 Telemetric EEG Monitoring (formerly comprising the Other partition). Two ADRGs from the ‘Other’ partition have been disaggregated (see REF _Ref466368177 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 7), as the episodes were considered to be better defined by the PDx, rather than the intervention.Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 7: ADRGs in the ‘Other’ partition being removedV8.0 ADRGTitleChanges for AR-DRG Version 9.0H43 ERCP proceduresRemoved with episodes dispersing according to the PDx (in the Medical partition)H40 Endoscopic procedures for bleeding oesophageal varicesRemoved, with a new ADRG H65 Bleeding oesophageal varices created in the Medical partitionOutcome:Two ADRGs from the ‘Other’ partition have been retained (moving into the Intervention partition), but with some revisions as outlined below (see REF _Ref466289375 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 8).

Following the implementation of the ECC model in Version 8.0, there is significantly less reliance on administrative variables to split ADRGs, with increased regard to the clinical attributes of the patient. Selected ADRGs using administrative variables in their definition were reviewed to determine whether these variables were still required, including those in the ‘Other’ partition. Mental health ADRGs were not included in the review given the development work being undertaken by IHPA on the classification of mental health episodes. Similarly neonatal ADRGs were excluded as there have been recommendations by Neonatologists to classify neonates using gestational age rather than birth weight, which would require a new data item to be implemented in the NMDS and is out of the scope for classification development at this stage.Outcome:A number of ADRGs using administrative variables were considered to be more appropriately defined using clinical variables only, and these have been revised with the administrative variables removed from the grouping logic (see REF _Ref474232709 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 10). In some cases this removed the ADRG from the classification, as all episodes moved to ADRGs in the Medical partition.Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 10: ADRGs with administrative variables removed from the definitionV8.0 ADRGTitleChanges for AR-DRG Version 9.0I40Infusions for musculoskeletal disorders, samedayRemoval of sameday logic, which removes the ADRG, distributing episodes to medical ADRGs according to the PDxI81Musculoskeletal injuries, samedayRemoval of sameday logic, which removes the ADRG, distributing episodes to medical ADRGs according to the PDxI82Other sameday treatment for musculoskeletal disordersRemoval of sameday logic, which removes the ADRG, distributing episodes to medical ADRGs according to the PDxV65Treatment for alcohol disorders, samedayRemoval of sameday logic - which removes the ADRG, distributing episodes to medical ADRGs according to the PDxV66Treatment for drug disorders, samedayRemoval of sameday logic - which removes the ADRG, distributing episodes to medical ADRGs according to the PDxZ40Other contacts w health services w endoscopy, samedayRemoval of sameday logic - ADRG retained in the Intervention partitionOutcome:The administrative variable has been retained for one ADRG, but the definition used in the grouping logic has been revised (see REF _Ref466296443 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 11).

E65 Chronic Obstructive Airways Disease was reviewed as it was noted that episodes with a PDx of bronchiectasis should be classified separately.Outcome:New ADRGs were created in order to separate the clinically distinct episodes (see REF _Ref466297022 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 13).Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 13: ADRGs lacking clinical distinctivenessV8.0 ADRGTitleChanges for AR-DRG Version 9.0I03Hip replacementI33 Hip Replacement, Non- traumatic created for hip replacement episodes with a non-trauma PDx, such as osteoarthritis, and I03 renamed as Hip Replacement, Trauma E65 Chronic Obstructive Airways DiseaseE77 Bronchiectasis created for episodes with a PDx of bronchiectasis – separating these from the other medical PDx in E65 The outcome of the changes to the ADRGs was a decrease in the total number from 406 in Version 8.0 to 399 in Version 9.0. Splitting ADRGsFollowing the finalisation and merging of all the ADRG revisions and other modifications arising from the work program, the final stage of development for the AR-DRG classification is the splitting of the ADRGs into DRGs (the end classes). This process firstly required the recalculation of the Diagnosis Complexity Level (DCL) matrix with the proposed modifications for Version 9.0. The DCL matrix includes all the weights given to each diagnosis for each ADRG.The splitting process determines the number of ADRGs that have one DRG only (Z) or are split into two, three or four DRGs (A, B, C, D), and also the ECCS value used to create the split where applicable. The splitting criteria used for AR-DRG Version 8.0 were retained for use for Version 9.0 (see REF _Ref466368267 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Table 14). Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 14: Splitting criteria and thresholdsCriterion*DescriptionThreshold1aMinimum episodes per DRG200 per year1bMinimum cost per DRG$1M per year1cMinimum percentage of ADRG episodes per DRG10%2aMinimum absolute change in mean cost between consecutive DRGs ** $3,7002bMinimum relative change in mean cost between consecutive DRGs2.03aMaximum relative increase in the coefficient of variation (CV) of DRGs compared to ADRG1.34aMinimum increase in the reduction in deviance (RID) from best performing partition with one less DRG across initially generated candidate models5%* Each criterion must be satisfied (except where either 2(a) or 2(b) apply)** Consecutive DRGs are DRGs in increasing order of mean costThese criteria have not been observed in all cases of splitting within previous AR-DRG versions. Similarly there are examples in Version 9.0 where the proposed number of end classes do not meet all criteria when:there was a need to retain stability across versions of the classification and/or a clinical argument was made to retain the number of end classes; andthe proposed number of DRGs or end classes just ‘failed’ to meet the criteria (e.g. most exceptions were made because the RID gain was close to 5%).5.1 Splitting modelsThe use of the splitting criteria, with the application of minimum thresholds, facilitates the derivation of various splitting models that can then be compared to select the preferred model. As in AR-DRG Version 8.0, complexity (i.e. ECCS) is the preferred splitting mechanism for Version 9.0 in all but 6 ADRGs, namely:R05 and L10 (previously A07 and A09 in Version 8.0) which use ECCS and ageB70, B78, F62 which use ECCS and transferF60 which uses transfer onlyFollowing CCAG advice, these six ADRGs remain unchanged in the use of non-complexity (or non-ECCS) splitting variables from Version 8.0.A comprehensive process for splitting model selection was developed and considered for each ADRG in Version 9.0 with comparisons made to Version 8.0 to reconsider areas of the classification that contained forced splits in Version 8.0 and to ensure stability of the classification over time. The following models were considered:Legacy modelsModel A:AR‐DRG V8.0 accepted modelMay not always satisfy splitting criteriaMay use non‐ECCS splitting variablesModel B:AR‐DRG V8.0 optimum model Satisfies all splitting criteria (or has no splits).Uses ECCS alone as a splitting variableNew ModelsModel 0Uses AR-DRG V8.0 splitting logicUses new AR-DRG V9.0 DCL matrixSimilar to Model A (i.e. it may not always satisfy splitting criteria and can use non-ECCS splitting variables).Model 1: (new optimum model):Satisfies all splitting criteria (or has no splits)Uses ECCS alone as the splitting variableMay or may not have the same number of splits as in AR‐DRG V8.0Similar to Model BModel 2: (with a forced additional split)Number of splits is as in Model 1 plus 1, but limited to 4At least one splitting criterion is not satisfied as a consequence of a forced additional splitUses ECCS alone as the splitting variableModel 3: (only applicable to 6 ADRGs using non‐ECCS variables, as in AR-DRG V8.0)Uses non‐ECCS splitting variablesSatisfies all splitting criteriaModel 4: (with a forced additional split; only for the 6 ADRGs using non‐ECCS variables, as in V8.0)Number of splits is as in Model 3 plus 1, but limited to 4At least one splitting criterion is not satisfied as a consequence of a forced additional splitFor ease of comparison to AR-DRG Version 8.0, Models A and B were developed. Model A applied the accepted and implemented logic of Version 8.0 while Model B was the optimum splitting option that met all splitting criteria and thresholds with the largest RID and uses ECCS only as a splitting variable. Models A and B were very important options to consider (along with Models 1-4) especially in relation to the consistency of using ECCS as a splitting variable over time. Where Model 1 and Model B had the same number of splits, rejection of forced splits in AR-DRG Version 9.0 was common (i.e. forced splits implemented in Version 8.0 were generally not maintained in Version 9.0). Both Models A and B were run on three years of data (2009/10-2011/12) using the Version 8.0 DCL matrix. When Model 1 was run on the latest three years of data and the new Version 9.0 DCL matrix, it was labeled as Model 0.For all ADRGs, two base splitting options (Models 1 and 2) using ECCS alone were derived under Version 9.0. Model 1 was the optimum splitting model as it met all the splitting criteria and thresholds with the largest RID. Model 2 forced the number of DRGs to be one more than that of Model 1.For those ADRGs (n = 6) that use non-complexity splitting variables, Models 3 and 4 were produced incorporating these variables (i.e. age and mode of separation). Model 3 identified the best splitting option using these variables and Model 4 presented an option that forced the number of DRGs to be one more than that of Model 3.Generally, Model 1 is the default splitting model as it satisfies all criteria and uses ECCS alone. However, Model 0 (no change from Version 8.0) has been preferred on many occasions if the change in ADRG logic produced a small percentage gain in RID. Most Version 9.0 ADRGs maintain the logic of Version 8.0 (i.e. Model 0) and is to be expected in those ADRGs with no splits. A model other than the default may also be selected in some circumstances based on statistical performance/description, clinical coherence and other special factors that have applied in a previous version.5.2Splitting selection processAs set out in Table 15, to streamline the splitting selection process, the ADRGs were categorised into groups, each with a general approach for selecting the preferred model (with the exception of ADRGs where the number of DRGs decreased). Thresholds of 2% and 3% were introduced to prevent the acceptance of spurious changes. In consultation with DTG, the preferred splitting model was determined for each ADRG, with the ACCD proposed model selected in all but 20 ADRGs.Most exceptions were made because the RID gain for the second split was close to 5% and these marginal cases were considered in conjunction with other information including size and stability. Splits for O01 and O60 were retained at the current number to reflect the large number of episodes and the consequent substantial implications of change. A review of criteria may be warranted in ADRGs of this nature with large numbers of episodes.Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 15: ADRG groups for splitting decisionsGroupSubgroupNo of ADRGsDefaultNo changeNo change211Model 0New or substantial changes in ADRG compositionNew8Model 1Substantial changes – exceeding ±20% of episodes due to regrouping11Model 1Same number of splits, changed optimal ECCS splitting valueModel 0 pass all criteria, RID gain < 3%*63Model 0Model 0 pass all criteria, RID gain >=3%*9Model 1Model 0 do not pass all criteria, RID gain < 2%*18Model 0Model 0 do not pass all criteria, RID gain >=2%*6Model 1Number of DRGs increaseNo. DRGs +125Model 1Number of DRGs decreaseNo. DRGs -131Case by case reviewECCS-plus or Non-ECCS ADRGECCS-plus or Non-ECCS ADRG6Model 0NeonatesNo change to be implemented11Model 05.3Splitting outcomeBoth CCAG and DTG input was sought to determine final model selection. Broadly speaking Model 1 was the default preferred splitting model for each ADRG. However, to maintain stability within the classification, Model 0 was the preferred splitting model if the change in ADRG logic produced a small gain in RID%, or if there were special factors that require the preservation of a status quo.When there was justification to reject either Model 1 or Model 0 (e.g. statistical performance/description, clinical coherence and any special factors that have applied to that ADRG in previous AR-DRG versions) Model 2 was selected. The final outcome of the splitting decisions resulted in a decrease in the total number of ADRGs, from 807 in Version 8.0 to 803 in Version 9.0. A comparison of the number of splits between versions is shown in see .Table 16: Comparison of number of DRGs V8.0 vs V9.0?n/aV8.0 ADRGs??V8.0 ADRGs??V8.0 ADRGs??V8.0 ADRGs??V9.0?n/aN=1N=2N=3N=4TotalV9.0N=170170087V9.0N=2920570225V9.0N=301959082V9.0N=400055V9.0Total79241665399Public SubmissionsAll public submissions were reviewed by ACCD’s PCA and DTG and where required, further input was sought from CCAG. A number of modifications have been made to the classification arising from issues highlighted in public submissions. These revisions are primarily related to:Episodes grouping to ADRG 801 GIs unrelated to principal diagnosis (where a GI is not related to a PDx in the MDC that the episode is assigned to it will group to ADRG 801).Inappropriate grouping outcomes due to the GI/SI status of intervention codes.Other public submission issues were addressed by the outcomes of the work program, including:Lack of clinical distinctiveness for episodes with a PDx of bronchiectasisInappropriate grouping of surgical episodes with a code of paraplegia/quadriplegia.Overall statistical performance of AR-DRG Version 9.0The overall statistical performance of AR-DRG Version 9.0 is a RID of 65.3% compared to AR-DRG Version 8.0 which was 65.6%. The change in overall statistical performance of the classification should be understood within the context that the major improvements in Version 9.0 have been at ADRG level that was primarily driven by the clinical coherence principle.? In particular the removal of sameday ADRGs had a decreasing effect on the indices of performance, offset by?the disaggregation of ADRG A06. ConclusionThe changes in AR-DRG Version 9.0 are primarily at the ADRG level, with some ADRGs being removed, replaced, relocated or redefined, and some new ADRGs being created. The revisions have been made in consideration of the most appropriate clinical definition for the group of episodes, including whether the episodes should be defined by the PDx, the intervention or the care provided (such as mechanical ventilation). This determined the placement of the ADRGs within either the Pre MDCs, or the Intervention or Medical partitions, and also whether the use of administrative variables in the definition remained appropriate. All decisions were made in consultation with the ACCD advisory and technical groups and expert advisors, and were informed by comprehensive statistical analysis undertaken by ACCD. There has been a slight decrease in the number of ADRGs and DRGs in Version 9.0 as a result of the revisions implemented. Improvements include a reduction in the number of ADRGs using administrative variables, increased granularity in the classification of the high cost episodes involving long term mechanical ventilation, streamlining of the classification structure, and clinical currency.The Version 9.0 development work at the structural level has utilised the improved clinical complexity methodology implemented in Version 8.0 with the ECC model, and this latest version facilitates a future work program targeting specific areas of the classification within the enhanced MDC/ADRG/DRG structure.Appendix A: V9.0 ADRG DescriptionsADRGV9.0 ADRG Descriptions801GIs Unrelated to Principal Diagnosis960Ungroupable961Unacceptable Principal Diagnosis963Neonatal Diagnosis Not Consistent W
