The gradual
increase in health expenditure each year highlights the importance of
cost-controlled inpatient prospective payment systems in health financing in
Turkey and around the world. Being in current use in many developed countries,
the Diagnosis-related Groups (DRG) model is an effective
inpatient prospective payment systemused in healthcare institutions with a high
case mix index. The present study aims to determine the efficacy of the DRG
inpatient prospective payment system model in the funding of cardiovascular
diseases, and to reveal the differences between the CHP-basedand DRG-based
pricing models. Findings of the present study reveal that DRG pricing changes
while CHP pricing remains constant in terms of certain parameters such as emergency
or elective surgery, accompanying diseases, newborn birth weight, and length of
stay in cases involving procedures and operations used in the diagnosis and
treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
