Validate ventilation, scores and documentation before SwissDRG coding.

SwissDRG classifies hospital cases using grouping rules based on documented information. In ICU, certain durations, procedures and treatment details can have a significant impact. ICU DATA EXPERT helps consolidate and check this data before coding uses it.

Mechanical ventilation

A data gap may trigger a suspected missing period. The designated professional checks the record and, if the alert is justified, manually enters a correction that ICU DATA EXPERT reintegrates into calculated periods and the stay summary.

Scores & complex treatment

Intensive care scores and indicators can be reused in stay documentation. The software automates NEMS, SOFA, SAPS and other calculations from data checked upstream.

ICU Episode ID

Each distinct ICU stay receives its own Episode ID. Scores, ventilation, documents and billing information are therefore assigned to the correct intensive care stay.

High-value procedures & information

Procedures, equipment, treatments and blood products relevant to coding are grouped so the coding specialist can locate and check them quickly.

SWISSDRG DOCUMENT

The SWISS DRG working document brings facts and evidence together.

It brings together key stay information — ventilation, procedures, blood products and scores — with supporting evidence. Coding specialists have a structured basis for choosing the tariff, checking the record and answering insurers.

Substantiate without an IT data extraction

Relevant information is immediately available to respond to an insurer’s dispute. If a value seems suspicious, the coding specialist retains the decision and checks it directly in the clinical software’s patient record.

A specifically Swiss requirement

SwissDRG publishes applicable definition manuals and classifications each year. ICU DATA EXPERT is designed to incorporate local clinical rules into a specialist data chain for Swiss intensive care units.

OPERATIONAL BENEFITS

Secure every data item that matters for SwissDRG.

Three direct routes to check facts, prepare evidence and support coding work.

Checking ventilation periods in a respiratory record next to a ventilator. RECONSTRUCT Mechanical ventilation Detect gaps and consolidate ventilated periods before billing. View periods A professional checks the procedures, scores and evidence assembled in the coding record. SUBSTANTIATE Coding & billing Gather procedures, scores and evidence in a verifiable record. Explore coding Checked clinical data feeds three validated summary documents. HAND OVER Automated documents Discover summaries produced from checked clinical data. View documents

ICU DATA EXPERT consolidates ventilation, scores and documented procedures to support review by coding teams. The software provides supporting evidence; it replaces neither record review nor application of the current coding rules. Data checks come before valuation.
