Medical actuality - the frequency and process of medical procedures, medical input into validation and coding of gynaecology

We have prepared a visual aid of the process of creating a medical performance in inpatient healthcare, given that 2 teams are involved in this process - the UN team and the CKS DRG team. For ease of grasp, the illustration describes the core competencies that the teams address within their respective agendas and which team you should refer to for each step of the health performance creation and update process. A simplified illustration can be found here.

As the annual benefit submission deadline approaches, we have finalized the medical input for this year's validations. The summary of medical inputs to the 2023 annual benefit validations is intended to serve as a guide for SK-DRG users for internal annual benefit validations prior to submitting the annual benefit to the CKS DRG. If you identify an error, e.g., classifying a procedure as a surgical procedure when the procedure is not performed in operating rooms, please send the above finding to us immediately at cksdrg@health.gov.sk.
