Based on the data of our hospital , this paper analyzed the DRG management system of our hospital, including disease operation management, disease cost control, adjustment of income structure, standardization of path management, strengthening of department operation management, while improving the quality of the first page of medical records and the accuracy of coding, carrying out day ward and day surgery, strengthening communication with medical insurance agencies, optimizing information system construction, etc., to provide reference for the operation mode of DRG payment in dermatology.
