For an expert opinion commissioned by the German Hospital Association the DRG systems HCFA-DRG, AP-DRG and APR-DRG were compared with the two German -language PCSs: the Austrian LDF system and the German system of Flat Case Rates (FPs) and Special Fees for O.R. procedures (SEs). The concluding findings were: 1. The use of doctors' criteria alone, the requirement of main diagnoses, and the lack of an adequate definition of the term "hospital case" in all systems result in a lack of homogeneity throughout. PCSs do not have to be adapted as a whole. 2. Whereas it can be useful to adapt the PCS groups and perhaps some algorithms to calculate figures (such as weights or trim points), it is problematic to take over the figures themselves. 3. The use of a PCS also requires the creation of a whole set of surrounding components of the remuneration system.
