Research on the Application and Effectiveness of the DRG Model on Perioperative Medical Management of Cholecystectomy

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to explore the application and effectiveness of the DRG model in the perioperative management of cholecystectomy. By comparing the DRG model with traditional management methods, this study focused on evaluating the potential impact of the DRG model in improving surgical efficiency and reducing complication rates and medical costs. Methods: The random envelope method was used to divide patients scheduled for cholecystectomy from January 2021 to October 2023 into two groups: one group underwent surgery under the DRG model (experimental group), and the other group underwent the traditional management model (control group). Data including basic information, surgery-related data, length of stay, complication records, and medical expenses were collected. Data analysis was carried out using a t-test and chi-square (χ²) test. Results: Results showed that the DRG model shortened the average length of stay, decreased the incidence of complications, reduced medical expenses, and increased patient satisfaction. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the DRG model in the perioperative management of cholecystectomy, especially in improving surgical efficiency, reducing medical costs, and improving patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The DRG model in the perioperative management of cholecystectomy can significantly improve medical service quality and efficiency and enhance patient satisfaction as compared to traditional treatment methods.
