Abstract :
The purpose of the project is the development of a simple on-line and quasi real-time system, supporting the acquaintance of the personnel of the involved public health-care facilities, to operational-cost monitoring procedures and facilitating the acquisition of the enormous amount of cost related data necessary to constitute an acceptable approximation for a refined Greek Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) system.
