Popis: Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) is a Patient Classification System that allows classifying inpatients stays among well-known groups in order to estimate the appropriate fees to refund hospitals. Each DRG solution has its own grouping approach. Using data gathered from the Hospital Information System (HIS), it assigns to an inpatient stay the appropriate group called DRG. In this paper, using both Web Service technology and Rule Based Expert System, we develop a rule-based system as a service for handling the grouping solution. This approach provides for hospitals and public/private stockholders the possibility to avoid the stringent software requirements on their local IT infrastructure by reusing a shared and distributed DRG solution. Moreover, combining these two technologies enhance knowledge maintenance and improve its reusability.
