Decision Question This Instrument Addresses
"Are we analytically and operationally ready for the AR-DRG transition – as a provider or as an insurer?"
What This Instrument Evaluates
Assessment Dimensions
Each dimension targets a specific failure mode that causes decisions of this type to go wrong. The instrument surfaces the gaps most likely to be consequential: not maturity against an idealised standard.
Coding Infrastructure
Do you have the clinical documentation discipline and coding capability to move from fee-for-service to DRG-based bundled claims: without a systematic undercoding or rejection spike?
Revenue Model Stress
For providers: what does your cash position look like under bundled reimbursement scenarios? For insurers: does your actuarial pricing model remain valid under DRG-based claims patterns?
Data & Audit Readiness
Is your NPHIES integration and clinical data infrastructure sufficient to generate the documentation quality that DRG adjudication requires?
Contractual Alignment
Are your current provider-payer contracts compatible with DRG-based reimbursement – or will transition trigger renegotiation across your network?
Transition Sequencing
Is there a phased rollout plan with realistic milestones, contingency triggers, and board-approved financial exposure limits?
Instrument Output
DRG Readiness Profile (Provider or Insurer) · Revenue Impact Modelling · Proceed / Delay / Redesign recommendation
