Abstract
To examine the association of the SwissDRG implementation with length of hospital stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, and 30-day readmission rates in the overall adult inpatient population and stratified by 5 individual diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Among medical hospitalizations in Switzerland, SwissDRG implementation appeared to be associated with an increase in readmission rates and a decrease in in-hospital mortality but not with the gradual decrease in LOS observed in the historical control period.
