Dear Martti,

I hope you are doing well. Our It team has some question regarding definition tables.

First of all, we would consider to have more detailed documentation about grouper REST API. Is that document latest version? Given ‘Prodacapo_Grouper_REST_API_general_description.pdf’ document does not provide enough details. For example, in the ‘Run grouping for one encounter’ section, request body contains parameter ‘diagnoses’.

o   Do we mean ICD (or something other classifications used in Georgia) and if so what is the version?;

o   "diagnoses": "S060, G819", - which one is main diagnoses;

o   Should we always use last level from classification hierarchy? for example: G819 = G81.9 or we can pass G81 as a parameter which is one level higher;

o   What are the methodology of ‘lengthOfStay’ calculation and measurement unit;

o   What is the rounding logic of one day in ‘lengthOfStay’ (in our case tracking are done hourly bases? For example, 47 hours are considered as 2 days of ‘lengthOfStay’ or 1day)?

There are also more questions similar to already mentioned, that’s why we should have more detailed information.

Is it possible to call you om Monday any preferable time for you?

With best regards, Keti

Dear Martii,

Thank you for Definition table. We are very happy you are well and find time to help us. File size was very large and Kristiina yesterday send me on my private mail. That’s why I am sending the letter so late.

We have some question regarding license conditions and fee. May you send us contract details?

We are contacted to Prodacapo to Jussi Järveläinen and sent him definition tables.

Wihh best regards,

Dear all

I have now created a FoxPro version of the Georgian intervention classification with mapping to NCSP+.

Also in the intervention classification I found a small number of dublicate codes.

The  codes/rows without Georgian codes are marked with red highlight and are obviously excluded from the working file.

In addition the file contains the codes for headings that should not be used in coding and cannot be used in DRG-assignment. These codes that are marked with green highligth in the attached table. They are also removed from the mapping.

Yellow highlight indicates error in the mapping from Georgia. There are a few dublicate codes that are obviously removed. A number of codes were mapped to inactive NCSP+ codes. These would not affect the DRG assigment and therefore the mapping has been corrected to active NCSP+ codes.

The yellow highlight thus indicates situations were the Georgian mapping must be corrrected for future use.  

The Georgian alphabet does not function in Foxpro. Therefore i use english translation. However, I hope we will in the future we will be able to use the Georgian text. Even now, I could  check some of the problems by using google translator with the your original text. So please retain the Georgian text also in futur versions.

Greetings

Dear all

I have no greated a FoxPro version of the ICD-10 file with the linkage to ICD+ codes.

FoxPro is the old database system that we still use (untill we get new system running later this year)

I am sorry, but FoxPro is not able to read the Georgian alphabet and therfore I will only use English in the system. In yuour own system you can obviously use Georgian by linking the codes to the correct codes.

I found a number of doublets in the Georgian ICD-10 and I have cleaned them out. Now every code has a linkage in ICD-10-plus which means that they will all get mapped properties in NordDRG and can be used in grouping.

You should however now clean your onw files. Therefore I attach te list mapped codes (ICD10 2018 GEO eng.txt) and the doublets (ICD-10 dublets.txt)

Greetings

Dear Kristiina,

Maia and NCDC have corrected some mistakes in ICD and NCSP (see link below). These are final version for definition tables.
