| CGI-DRG DEMO: TRY BEFORE YOU BUY |
| Take out Web-based (CGI) grouper out for spin: we have put up our latest CGI grouper
on the web so you can
try it out.
Note that the HTML this program produces is deliberately barebones, so that it
can be processed by just about any browsers. Hooks for using local stylesheets are
available, so that CGI-DRG's output would better match your site. |

| HOW TO PICK A PRODUCT |
All of our grouper products do essentially the same thing:
they assign a DRG to an inpatient medical encounter. What
varies across the product line is the platform, the packaging
and the extra features.
-
If you are looking for a one-time assignment of DRGs to
a particular data set, you should probably use our
DRG Assignment Service).
-
In general, end-users buy one of our interactive grouping
applications. The applications don't store data, they
simply accept clinical data as input and then show you
the resulting DRG.
-
Data analysts tend to purchase one of our batch grouping
products. These products allow an entire data set to be
grouped.
-
Programmers who need to provide grouping as part of their
in-house applications usually want to buy one of our
program-callable modules. (Programmers who want to develop
commercial
applications which feature grouping by our grouper need to arrange for a
reseller's license.)
