1. In geography, DRG is the abbreviation of Digital Raster Graphic, which is called Digital Raster Map in Chinese: it is a raster dataset based on the existing topographic maps of paper and film scanned and geometrically corrected and color-corrected to form a raster dataset that is consistent with topographic maps in terms of content, geometric accuracy and color.
2. In medicine, DRGs (Diagnosis Related Groups), which means Disease Diagnosis Related Groups, refers to the grouping of cases of similar complexity and cost into the same (DRG) group, based on the information of patients discharged from hospitals, taking into account the patients' main diagnoses and main treatments, and taking into account the individual signs, such as age, complications, and concomitant diseases, so as to allow different intensities and costs to be treated. This allows for objective comparisons to be made between different levels of intensity and complexity of care.
The DRG classification is based on ICD-9-CM codes and other elements not included in ICD-9, and the grouping of ICD codes is based on factors that have an impact on the treatment, consumption, and length of hospitalization, such as severity, complications, and type of treatment. The resulting classifications are equivalent to and medically recognized as cost-based classifications.DRG can be used in budgets, and its use in budgets is still somewhat controversial due to the inclusion of factors related to health care delivery.
DRG is the grouping of a homogenized and similar set of diseases into a single unit of payment according to grouping rules. Payment according to a group of diseases, which involves the determination of DRG-related disease grouping rules, the development of payment and settlement rules, that is to say, the same disease group payment and settlement price involves five major factors, such as RW, CMI, time-efficiency index, cost-consumption index, and risk mortality.

DRG Payment Features:
DRG payment is another major reform measure in deepening the reform of the health insurance payment method following the reform of the payment by disease type, compared with the existing payment by disease type in Tianjin. Compared with Tianjin's current payment for single diseases, DRG payment basically realizes the full coverage of common hospitalized diseases.
