      ab: This paper presents a new perspective on why Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) are successful. It begins with a characterisation of labels we use to describe their attributes and a brief overview of the Commonwealth Australian National Diagnosis Related Group (AN-DRG) localisation project. Information required and produced by AN-DRGs computer programs is then outlined to establish their domain of application. Uncertainty in such information limits the utility of DRGs as a planning and managing tool. Examples are presented to clarify their statistical properties and to motivate discussion regarding technology for improving their performance.
