| HOW TO PICK A VERSION |
| US Federal (aka CMS or HCFA) DRG versions are released in October of
every year. Version 3 (the first version we support) was released in
October of 1985. So if you are using calendar years,
1/1/2001 - 9/30/2001 would be covered by version 18 and 10/1/2001
through 9/30/2002 would be covered by version 19. And so on. |

| LAT-DRG |
| LAT-DRG stands for "Line-At-a-Time DRG Grouper." LAT-DRG was intended to be an alternative for Windows/CE:
a cheap, fast, easy-to-use CMS (formerly HCFA) DRG grouper under Windows/CE which requires a minimum of
typing (assuming that you have an MS-DOS emulator such as
PocketDos). We tested LAT-DRG on a Compaq Ipaq 3635 PocketPC
running PocketDOS. You can also use LAT-DRG in a DOS window under any kind of Microsoft
Windows, or via telnet to a UNIX server, or under FreeDOS. |
| For a sample LAT-DRG session to give you an
idea of what LAT-DRG is like, click here. |

| |
| MINI-DRG |
| Mini-DRG is also aimed at Windows/CE machines running an MS-DOS emulator. Mini-DRG provides a
stripped-down full-screen menu-driven application which tells you which ICD9cm codes, either
diagnosis or procedure, were actually used in the DRG computation. You can also use Mini-DRG in a
DOS window under any kind of Microsoft Windows, or via telnet to a UNIX server. |
| For a sample Mini-DRG session to give you an idea of what Mini-DRG is like,
click here. |

| |
| SA-DRG |
| SA-DRG is intended for users with a full screen at their disposal.
If you are in a full-screen environment, such as a DOS prompt on a desktop Windows machine,
or telnet to a UNIX server, and
you want a group which can support up to 3 different versions at once and provide descriptions for
your ICD9cm codes, then you want SA-DRG which stands for
Standalone Grouper. |
| For a sample SA-DRG session to help you decide if the Standalone Grouper is right for you,

| VB-DRG |
| VB-DRG is our Visual BASIC DRG Grouper. VB-DRG is a Visual BASIC form which collects the
data needed to assign a DRG and then calls our Grouper DLL
with that data. VB-DRG then displays the results on the screen (but does not save them anywhere).
VB-DRG features interactive labelling of ICD9cm codes via our ICD9cm labelling DLL. |
| VB-DRG can support multiple DRG versions. VB-DRG automatically detects the presence of any and
all masks files and then presents the user with a list of versions supported by your particular
installation. If you want to keep your VB-DRG application current, you will need to upgrade
every year by buying a new Grouper DLL (the price of which includes a new masks file). You will
also need a new ICD9cm Labels data file to keep up to date. |
Included in the VB-DRG purchase price is
- VB-DRG application
- Current Grouper DLL
- DRG Masks file of your choice
- ICD9cm DLL
- ICD9cm Labels data file
If you want to interactively group records and then store the results, look at
Access-DRG. |

| CGI-DRG |
| CGI-DRG stands for "Common Gateway Interface DRG Grouper." CGI is the standard most webservers use
to communicate with scripts. CGI-DRG is intended to be installed by your IT department on an internal
server. CGI-DRG provides a simple HTML form into which any user with a browser and web access
to your server can fill in and get back a DRG, as well as indications of which codes were used in the
grouping and the DRG's description, MDC, weight and mean. We have tested CGI-DRG under GNU-Linux and
Apache, so we expect our ANSI C source to compile and run under just about any UN*X and just about
any web server. We have tested CGI-DRG under NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 running IIS. |

| ACCESS-DRG |
| Access-DRG is a Microsoft Access application which collects the data needed to assign a DRG and
stores that data, to be grouped by our Grouper DLL on demand. Access-DRG features interactive
labelling of ICD9cm codes via our ICD9cm labelling DLL. |
Included in the Access-DRG purchase price is
- Access-DRG application
- Current Grouper DLL
- DRG Masks file of your choice
- ICD9cm DLL
- ICD9cm Labels data file
If you want to interactively group records but do not want to store the results, look at
VB-DRG. |
